Heading into this game, Laval picked up just one victory in eight games while allowing 41 goals along the way, but a Rocket team low on confidence managed to concoct a comeback in this game that saw them score four times without response in the final frame.
“We got away from our game. We got a little too comfortable and started being loose with the puck. We didn’t do our job.”
– Captain Logan Shaw
First Period
The Marlies were a mess in the opening minutes of the game and should have fallen behind with a little over 100 seconds played when an offensive zone turnover led to a 3-on-1 break for Laval.
