It's true that Pearson's campaign won't necessarily be remembered fondly by Canadiens fans, or by league teams for that matter. In 49 games, he totaled five goals and 12 points, half of which were collected during the first ten games of the season.
Already not a speed merchant, although he is a very good leader, even on a bottom-ranking team with little depth at forward like the Canadiens, Pearson doesn't play like a regular.He has just been moved out of the lineup for the last two starts of the Tricolore.
