Prospect David Reinbacher took part in his first taste of legitimate hockey action since the 2024-25 Calder Cup playoffs. Reinbacher featured on the Laval Rocket’s first pairing, alongside Adam Engstrom. It’s too early to worry about his results, as he’ll need a little while to get up to speed, but it is still quite encouraging to see him back on the ice.
The Rocket would go on to lose 2-1, with Jared Davidson (6) scoring the lone goal for Laval.
Son 6ème!!

I’m not going to lie, I have a hard time recognizing most of the costumes from the Montreal Canadiens Halloween party. Zachary Bolduc is Luigi, that much I know.

It’s spooky season! And although the New Jersey Devils are off to an 8-3-0 start to their regular season, there are certainly some scary trends creeping into their game. [New Jersey Devils]
With a couple of days of good practice time, Florida Panthers coach Paul Maurice has addressed his team’s offence. Or lack thereof. The Panthers went 5-5-1 in the first month of the season which, as of Thursday, was outside a playoff spot. Scoring has been one of Florida’s biggest concerns thus far. [Florida Panthers]
What a month it’s been for the Avalanche. After defeating the Pacific Division-leading Vegas Golden Knights 4-2 on Friday, the Avs (7-1-4) became the last remaining team to have only one regulation loss. [Colorado Avalanche]
