Alexandre Grenier scored the game-winning goal, while Connor LaCouvee made 28 saves on 29 shots as the Rocket beat the Rochester Americans 2-1 on Saturday afternoon at Place Bell. The Rocket earned three out of a possible four points in a weekend series with the Americans.
“Very happy with the way the guys competed,” Rocket head coach Joël Bouchard said. “I think we were, a lot of times, better than we were last night.”
Rochester defeated Laval 3-2 in a shootout Friday night, and both sides played a tight game Saturday afternoon. The Rocket still have a way to go if they want to qualify for the 2018-19 American Hockey League playoffs, but they’ve secured eight out of a possible 10 points in their last five games, including their recent performance against the North Division leaders.
