The Laval Rocket played the second game of their back-to-back set against the Syracuse Crunch on Saturday afternoon, completing the sweep by a score of 5-2.
Zachary Fucale made 28 saves, looking sharp and focused in his first back-to-back start in the AHL since February 2016. He established himself towards the end of the first period as the Crunch buzzed around Fucale’s net, but he made a series of saves to keep the game scoreless as the Rocket were killing off a Syracuse power play.
The first period was an uncharacteristic defensive affair, lacking the offensive fire power of Friday’s 6-5 win.
