And secondly, our fears seem to be confirmed regarding the young Juraj Slafkovsky, who was missing yesterday and seems to be injured.
So, this is a situation to watch, but if Slafkovsky is absent tonight, it would obviously be a significant loss for Martin St-Louis' troops. Let's hope it's not too serious in his case.
Slafkovsky, 19 years old, has accumulated 31 points in 61 games this season, and 41 points in 100 career games.
RHP, 25 years old, has for his part accumulated 7 points in 24 games this season, and 28 points in 62 career games.
