Indeed, a few games after returning from injury, Swedish forward Lias Andersson has received a one-game suspension for delivering a violent elbow to a player from the Springfield Thunderbirds last Saturday.
This is a significant loss for Jean-François Houle's men, who are currently in a tight battle to secure a playoff spot. Currently ranked seventh in the North division, the Laval Rocket is only four points behind the Toronto Marlies for the last playoff spot.
Since his arrival in the Montreal organization, Lias Andersson has made a significant impact, scoring 15 goals and 13 assists (28 points) in 36 games in the American League.
