On Thursday, the Habs announced some bad news, as Brendan Gallagher suffered an injury and was unable to play against the Calgary Flames.
It is often said that the misfortune of some makes the happiness of others. This was the case for Juraj Slafkovsky, who finally had the opportunity to play on a top line. The Slovakian played an entire game, scoring a goal and hitting a post with his head.
The trio of Slafkovsky, Monahan and Anderson was the CH's best in this game and the first pick in the last draft had something to do with it.
There have been a lot of rumors lately about whether the Habs will agree to loan Slaf to Slovakia so he can play in the World Junior Championship. Some fans are convinced that this would be a good thing for the rookie. According to Renaud Lavoie, we got the answer Thursday night with the youngster's great performance:
"for those who still think that Juraj Slafkovsky needs to go to the World Junior Hockey Championship, they have the answer tonight." - Renaud Lavoie
Obviously, everything will depend on the injury to Brendan Gallagher, but it would still be surprising to see Slafkovsky play at the World Junior if he continues to play like this in the NHL.
