Last night the Rookie Tournament got underway in Buffalo as the Habs took on the Sabres. The game ended 4-3 for Buffalo, but don't worry, it was just a game. We got to see some great flashes from several players, including the duo of Juraj Slafkovsky and Filip Mesar, who combined for a great goal. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/Marqueur/status/1570555778670657537?t=I2qv7Hg87rymffkIh4Iaog&s=19'> </a></blockquote></div> In addition to the two Slovaks, Emil Heineman, Mattias Norlinder, Arber Xhekaj, Xavier Simoneau and several others appeared well in the game. However, two players were conspicuous by their absence. Kaiden Guhle is expected to play on Sunday. The team wanted him to practice before throwing him in the game. The other one is Logan Mailloux. Contrary to rumors, his rehab is going very well and he is close to a return to play. The team just didn't want to take any chances with him and let him prepare for his junior season. <q>« Logan Mailloux is feeling much better but the Canadiens don't want to take any chances as he is recovering from a shoulder injury. He will return to action at the junior level in the coming weeks. » - Renaud Lavoie</q> This is an important decision, as the feedback has been very positive about the young man's field hockey skills and everyone, including the organization, is eager to see him play. However, for the sake of his development and to be on the safe side, the team has made an important decision.
