Summary

- He is having a strong start to the AHL season for the Rocket.
Sasha Pastujov, acquired by the Montreal Canadiens from the Anaheim Ducks during the off-season, is making a notable impact for the Laval Rocket, the Canadiens' AHL affiliate. Pastujov recently delivered a standout performance against the Syracuse Crunch, scoring two goals and contributing an assist. This offensive surge included the crucial game-winning goal in the second period, highlighting his immediate value to the Rocket.
His current production at the AHL level is consistent with past success, having recorded 21 goals and 57 points for the San Diego Gulls last season. In the 2024-25 season, he achieved 17 goals and 45 points in 43 games with San Diego. Laval now anticipates continued strong offensive output from Pastujov throughout the current campaign, with the hope that his performance could earn him a call-up to the Canadiens' roster should injuries occur.
