We debuted a new series on Monday, inspired by the classic TV show MythBusters. Is Juraj Slafkovsky really having a bad year? With the help of Habs fans, we tackled some of the prevailing opinions regarding the 20-year-old forward, including his willingness to engage in physical play, speed bursts, turnovers, and more.

Top prospect Ivan Demidov scored yet another fantastic goal in the NHL. This time around, the 19-year-old forward opted for a clever backhand goal once it seemed that he was out of runway. With the goal, Demidov is now on pace for 50 points in 67 games, an impressive pace considering his usage.

 

Speaking of Demidov, former Hab Ilya Kovalchuk is a fan of his younger countryman.

Alex Newhook missed practice as the team prepared to face the Utah TBDs, which means forward Michael Pezzetta is likely to be called-upon if the speedster is unable to play on Tuesday.
