Jan Myšák talks faceoffs with Tomáš Plekanec, his past year, and what he’s working on for next season

Jan Myšák sits down and let us know about his time after the World Junior Championships, playing with the Laval Rocket and the influence of Joël Bouchard.

It is a visibly bigger and stronger Jan Myšák that we catch up with. He is putting his own weight at 83 kg (183 lbs), and he is looking after his body better than before after collaborating with a nutritionist.

The Czech player points out his need to build up his strength, both in his core and generally in order to protect the puck better.

A natural topic of conversation is a former Montreal Canadiens player, Tomáš Plekanec, and Myšák laughs as he describes the first time that he faced Plekanec in the face-off circle.
