Michael Pezzetta may not have the typical resume for an NHL newcomer, but he sure didn't look out of place in his debut with the Montreal Canadiens last night. (EricEngels)
On Tuesday, in a 3-0 win over the Detroit Red Wings, that dream came true. Pezzetta made a tangible impact on the game over just 8:31 of ice-time in his NHL debut.
Sure, Romanov is in his fourth year as a professional hockey player. He’s a former second-round pick who played two full seasons in the KHL before accumulating 68 games of NHL experience over a shortened 2021 campaign and the early part of this current one. But scratching him for a game doesn’t mean the Canadiens aren’t allowing him to do that. He’s averaged 18:18 through the first 10 games, and he played over 20 minutes in two of the last three games before he was finally pulled from the lineup.
But his overexcitement went against him in a 5-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday and it bled into a 4-2 loss to the Anaheim Ducks Sunday and really bit him.
