Montreal Canadiens fans have been given a glimpse into the future as Lane Hutson, David Reinbacher and Florian Xhekaj have joined the Habs and the Laval Rocket.

Excerpt from 'Rocket Hockey Report' of host Amy Johnson commenting on Jakub Dobes' performance this season.

Montreal Canadiens fans have been treated to a glimpse into the future over the past few weeks. Top prospects have been added to the rosters of the Canadiens and the Laval Rocket as their seasons ended with their amateur clubs. 

David Reinbacher is set to play his 10th game with the Rocket just as Florian Xhekaj suits up for Laval for the first time. On Monday, we expect that Lane Hutson will make his NHL debut in a Canadiens jersey against the Detroit Red Wings. Is there another prospect who will be recalled to do the same before the end of the season?

Join us as we do a deep dive on the next wave of Canadiens talent on this week's episode of Canadiens Connection podcast.

In addition, we provide roster updates. And we outline the week that was for Habs prospects. We conclude the show with comments, texts, and emails from you, our loyal Canadiens Connection listeners.
