Two Montreal Canadiens prospects took to the ice at the Centre Excellence Sport Rousseau in Boisbriand yesterday, in Team Canada’s 5-3 win over a team of U Sports all-stars.
Goaltender Michael McNiven played the final 30 minutes of the game coming in for starter Carter Hart. He had a 4-0 lead, and didn’t have a warm up when he came into the game.
Naturally the first two chances against him were two-on-ones. McNiven stopped the first one, but after Elgin Pearce came out of the penalty box, he found Philippe Maillet who beat McNiven.
It only got worse from there.
