WATCH: Juraj Slafkovsky admits why he's been playing better lately and it's completely hilarious

In the last few games, Juraj Slafkovsky seems to have become much more comfortable on the ice and his game seems to be improving from game to game. It is possible that having more responsibility on the ice, due to the many injuries the Habs have suffered, may have had a positive impact on his game.

However, the main interested party confessed one of the reasons of his excellent game lately and the reason is absolutely hilarious and it's thanks to his mother!

The first overall pick said that she would have texted him to shoot the net more often and that he realized that he would have to do it too if even his mom noticed. We love the Slovak's candor!
