2017-18 Montreal Canadiens season review: Jacob de la Rose had an up and down season

Jacob de la Rose spent all season in the National Hockey League for the first time in his career, and it was a season of mixed results for the 22-year-old (who turned 23 during the off-season).

He started the year in a rotation on the team’s fourth line, but his most common line during the season was one he finished the year with, playing with Alex Galchenyuk and Artturi Lehkonen. They played together for 22 per cent of de la Rose’s ice time despite only playing together in the last 13 of de la Rose’s 55 games on the year.
