In order to make the playoffs, the Laval Rocket will have to beat the teams ahead of them in the North Division, and they did just that with a 7-5 win over the Rochester Americans at Place Bell on Wednesday night.
The seven goals came from seven different scorers, all at even strength, with a balanced offence leading the way.
The Rocket got off to a great start with two goals in just over a minute. Pierrick Dubé opened the scoring with his fifth goal of the year. Mattias Norlinder entered the zone, fired a shot towards the net, and it bounced around until Dubé was able to beat Malcolm Subban.
