So in case you haven't been paying attention to Phil Deneau's play with the Kings this year, in the 30 games that he has played with L.A.,

he has no goals and only five assists, which is why, you know, he obviously wasn't feeling very satisfied with how the year was going with LA.

And so as, as Rick has, has mentioned here in, in our show rundown, you know, five assists in 30 games is about a 13 point pace for the season.

That's not great.

That's right.

So he won't be, as you said, he'll be a healthy, well, technically a healthy scratch because he's not even with the team yet.

That's right.

Of course, that means to make room for him, someone has to come out of the lineup.

And that turned out to be forward Jared Davidson returned to Laval on Saturday morning so that they could be compliant with the roster limit of 23 players.

Jared Davidson did, he actually played 10 games.

He's been up with the Canadians for a little bit now, played in 10 games.

And he had an okay.

He had an okay call up this time around.

No, I don't think so either.

So as far as lines for Saturday night's game, Matheson, as we mentioned, is back in the lineup from his short day-to-day injury.

And we also do know that Jacob Fowler is going to start in goal versus the Penguins at the Bell Center.

Um, and speaking of that, why don't we, uh, why don't we check in on the Habs prospect report and we can get a, in the midst of that, we can get an update on Laval and how Sam Montembeau is doing down there.

I promise you this is not deja vu.

I promise you that this is not a broken record.

But we have to keep telling you about Bryce Pickford and Quentin Miller because they are just not quitting.
