Canadiens' Lelbanc In Team's Future Plans

CBSSports.com Fantasy — Montreal general manager Marc Bergevin acknowledged Louis Leblanc took a step back in his development in 2012-13, but the 2009 first-round pick is still in the team's plans, the Montreal Gazette reports.

Hamilton Bulldogs Player of the week: Louis Leblanc

Habs Eyes On The Prize — If you're tired of the negativity surrounding the Canadiens losing to the Leafs last night, look no further for some positivity. The Bulldogs had three games this week, winning twice and losing once, and perhaps the most important story line coming out of the week is Louis Leblanc breaking out of his slump. On Wednesday, Leblanc and the Bulldogs opened the week with a 6-4 win over the Toronto Marlies, in that game Leblanc scored twice, including the game winner. On Leblanc's first goal he showed off his slick stick-handling before backhanding the puck into the yawning cage. For his sec...
