Canadiens Organization Completes First Roster Move Immediately After Rocket's Elimination
As you probably already know, the Laval Rocket unfortunately lost last night and were eliminated from the AHL playoffs.
Just a few hours after that loss, the first personnel move was indeed announced within the Montreal Canadiens organization.
This gives us a great reason to remind you, if you're interested, to turn your attention to the Trois-Rivières Lions!
They, too, are having a very exciting and intense playoff run.
Major Reinforcement at the Perfect Time for the Trois-Rivières Lions!
Indeed, due to the elimination of Pascal Vincent's squad, a key defenseman is arriving to reinforce Trois-Rivières.
It had been a significant loss for the Lions when Vincent Sévigny was called up by the Laval Rocket (in the middle of the playoffs), but he's back!
Of course, Laval no longer needs him for the time being.
"Defenseman Vincent Sévigny has been reassigned to the Trois-Rivières Lions."
- Laval Rocket
"Trois-Rivieres has received a player from its AHL affiliate, the Laval Rocket. D Vincent Sévigny, who has 5 points (1 G, 4 A) in 15 playoff games for the Lions, had been called up. But Laval was eliminated from the playoffs last night."
This is undoubtedly great news for Ron Choules' squad!
At 24 years old, Vincent Sévigny is a 6-foot-3, 185-pound left-shot defenseman from Quebec City, who tallied 19 points in 49 games this season with the Trois-Rivières Lions, along with a solid +25 rating.
He also has over 90 games of AHL experience.
He'll be a name to watch for those tuning into the Lions' playoff games, and also this fall at training camp.
Sévigny could end up surprising a lot of people!
