Juraj Slafkovsky's first game was much better than expected
The Habs season opener had a special flavor for youngsters Juraj Slafkovsky, Kaiden Guhle and Arber Xhekaj. Guhle was sensational and was the most used player by Martin St-Louis, while Xhekaj was physical, blocked shots and even created a scoring chance.
In Slafkovsky's case, he was a little less in the spotlight, but he did well in the little details. In addition to drawing a penalty, he prevented none other than Auston Matthews from shooting from close range with a solid defensive play.
There is a reason Slaf made the team. His offensive game will develop, but his 200 foot skills are undeniable, as well as having the physicality for the job.
