Montreal Canadiens prospect Joshua Roy is a difficult player to analyze.

It’s not that he lacks skill. If anything, he’s rather bored with the quality of competition in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.

But now that the playoffs are well underway, Roy, who has a penchant for stepping up his level of play during crucial games, has plenty of motivation to work with, which has led to a rather impressive scoring rate.

Roy scored 10 points for the Sherbrooke Phoenix in their first-round sweep of the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada, which placed him among the most productive players in the league.

And now that the Phoenix have advanced to the second round, Roy has turned it up a notch, earning eight points in the first two games against the Drummondville Voltigeurs, including a six-point effort in game two.

The fantastic performance, which included a hat trick, means that Roy now leads the entire QMJHL in scoring during the 2022-23 playoffs, with nine goals and nine assists in six games.

  • Riley Kidney registered 11 points in just five games during the first round of the QMJHL playoffs. Now that the Gatineau Olympiques have advanced to the second round, the team keeps dominating, but Kidney’s production has slowed down slightly, to the tune of two assists in the first two games of the series versus the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies. Gatineau won both games of the series with an identical 5-0 score.

  • Canadiens prospects Flip Mesar and Logan Mailloux are in the midst of a one-sided second-round series between their respective teams. The London Knights are well on their way to avenging their series loss to the Kitchener Rangers in the playoffs last season thanks to two convincing wins. Mesar earned an assist for the Rangers in both losses, whereas Logan Mailloux earned a goal and two assists for the Knights. Mailloux now has eight points in just six playoff games.
