The auditions to get a spot in the Montreal Canadiens organization continued last night as the Laval Rocket took on the Hershey Bears. It was also another game for Nikita Korostelev on the top line with Chris Terry and Adam Cracknell. The 21-year-old got the promotion ahead of Friday’s match against the Binghamton Devils after Kerby Rychel was called up to the NHL.
Laval found themselves down 1-0 after Mathias Bau opened the scoring with his tenth of the season. It was already an underwhelming period for the Rocket who only mustered 3 shots to Hershey’s 13 at the 15-minute mark.
