The Laval Rocket lost both their games at home this weekend, to the Hershey Bears and Toronto Marlies, making their playoff push seem like an even tougher task.
Friday: L 6-3 vs. Hershey
Laval kicked off their weekend homestand Friday night against the Hershey Bears, the first time that the AHL’s oldest franchise met the AHL’s newest franchise. The Rocket were coming off a well earned victory over the Belleville Senators on Wednesday night, where they used a pair of shorthanded goals to topple their divisional rivals.
Charlie Lindgren was between the pipes for the Rocket once again, backing him up was the rookie Michael McNiven while Zachary Fucale was on assignment in Brampton.
