After two weeks and four games against the Belleville Senators, the Laval Rocket finally had the chance to face a new team early in the AHL season. They put together an impressive 3-1-0 run against a pesky Senators team to start their season, and their four-game series was a coming-out party for a number of young players.
While Jordan Weal and Lukas Vejdemo are pacing the team offensively, Rafaël Harvey-Pinard and Jesse Ylönen are more than holding their own as a pair of rookies making their North American professional debuts. The Moose were bolstered by the arrival of 2021 first-round pick Cole Perfetti, who had just one goal in his first four games, while Tyler Graovac lead Manitoba in scoring.
