Laval concluded the weekend with two wins against the Toronto Marlies, solidifying its top position in the league overall, but especially in the division.
It was not Cayden Primeau in goal, but Connor Hughes, who stopped 30 of the 32 shots directed at him. He also gave nothing away in the shootout.
The two shootout goals for the team were scored by Jared Davidson and Joshua Roy.

– A lot of interest in Brad Marchand and Brandon Carlo.
The #NHLBruins are another team that GMs are circling around.
Carlo, Geekie, Frederic and even Marchand are generating interest.
But Bruins aren’t there yet, per @MurphysLaw74. https://t.co/hevzjr5sO4
