So we'll see how that goes.

And finally, just checking in on the Habs, ECHL affiliate, the 12 Riviera Lions, sixth in the North Division, 20th in the ECHL.

Still doing okay.

Could use a little bit of improvement in some places, but they're still kind of... Speaking of call-ups, they've been the victim as well with a lot of players going to Laval.

All right, so just to wrap up this first segment, I'll give you a couple of notes from around the league.

The Edmonton Oilers placed goaltender Tristan Jari on IR and had to recall Connor Ingram from the Bakersfield Condors.

Apparently not.

All right, we will see.

The Columbus Blue Jackets also making a trade before the roster freeze, acquiring veteran left winger Mesa Marchman in a trade with the Seattle Kraken.

In exchange for the Rangers' fourth round pick in the 2026 draft and the Blue Jackets' own 2027 second round pick.

We'll see in a week once that trade freeze, the roster freeze lifts, if the trade market doesn't start to heat up even more significantly as we then inch closer to the trade deadline.

All right, we're going to take our first break here on the Canadians Connection podcast.
