After a long summer, the Laval Rocket made their AHL debut, playing 10 games in the month of October and putting on quite a show in the process, posting a 5-3-2 record. The Rocket got off to a hot start, going 3-0-0 to start the year, before limping to a 2-3-2 end to the month.
The offence deserves high praise for the great start, posting an AHL-best 38 goals, while the defence and goaltending is responsible for an AHL-worst 38 goals against.
It was a wild first month of the team’s existence, highlighted by a 15-goal affair against the Binghamton Devils in which the Rocket scored a pair of hat tricks: from Chris Terry and Daniel Carr.
