Since his recent recall from the Laval Rocket, young Rafaël Harvey-Pinard is really impressing with the Montreal Canadiens, and many wonder if the young Quebecer has just succeeded in establishing himself in the NHL for good.
After all, following the Habs' most recent game, two players were sent back to the AHL.
The Canadiens did send forwards Alex Belzile and Jesse Ylönen to the Laval Rocket, but not RHP.
The Saguenay native is staying with the CH, but is it for good?
A big hint from Suzuki, in a press scrum.
None other than Montreal Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki may have just given us the answer, by slightly escaping in a press scrum.
We hate it when some people over-analyze players' words to draw conclusions, but in the case of Suzuki's most recent media availability, it seemed pretty clear.
Check out Nick Suzuki's statement that may give us a heads up:
"It gives a lot of guys opportunities; Harvey-Pinard is playing really well and he might not have been able to establish himself in the NHL without these injuries." - Nick Suzuki
Are we to understand that RHP was finally able to establish himself in the NHL? You be the judge.
Either way, what a great story!
Harvey-Pinard has six points, including five goals, in seven games since being recalled by the Montreal Canadiens.
Check out another clue:
"In an interview on our ON THE ICE Podcast - JF Houle of the Laval Rocket, says he doesn't expect to see any of the CH's recalled players back by the end of the season - "There are so many injuries and the possible trades that are coming..." Online later today"
- Stephane Leroux, RDS
We love it!
