Canadiens: Rocket Qualifies For Conference Final Thanks To Primeau's Perfect Game
Nobody said it would be easy when the Montreal Canadiens' farm team, the Laval Rocket, qualified for the divisional final against the Buffalo Sabres' farm team, the Rochester Americans. Laval had won the regular season championship, but Rochester had quite an impressive roster, including a solid goaltender in Devon Levi, one of the league leaders in points in the postseason in Kale Clague, and Jiri Kulic, who spent most of the season in the NHL. The series was decided in a fifth and ultimate game Sunday at Place Bell, and the locals pitched a perfect game to prevail and qualify for the Conference final.

Rafael Harvey-Pinard is Back
The Montreal Canadiens have recalled Rafael Harvey-Pinard from Laval. When he was last up with the Canadiens, he averaged 12:38 last season. But now, things have changed and one has to wonder why this is occurring. Some say there are better players in Laval at the moment. Related: Can Rafael Harvey-Pinard Grab a Habs Roster Spot? Pinard hasn't been ripping it up in Laval. He has 11 points in 24 games. He should have much better numbers. On most teams, that's not good enough to get a promotion but my guess is this is just the latest in callups that will get a few games and then on to the next player. Injuries have forced the team into this for now but a trade could cure this problem long-term. Advertisement Let's see how he looks for approximately seven minutes a game. It's hard to have any kind of impact that way. Martin St. Louis has been stingy with minutes for call-ups lately so I'm not expecting anything better. Maybe he will surprise me. In his last five AHL games, he had three assists. He's been shooting a bit more lately so I'm guessing they are looking for some offensive push besides filling the minutes. Pinard did that once upon a time. Emil Heineman will be back in a few weeks and things will settle down at that point. For now, this is what the Canadiens will do to try and fill his spot in the lineup. They have a tough schedule coming up so any tinkering is good.
