The Montreal Canadiens’ AHL affiliate moved to Laval for the 2017-18 season, and the Rocket have gotten off to perfect start.
Not only does the team hold a 3-0 record, but it has scored 16 goals in those three games, with eight of them coming in an 8-7 win in the first game of a weekend back-to-back with the Binghamton Devils last night. Those explosive offences will be back on the ice this afternoon at Place Bell.
Leading the way for the Rocket were Chris Terry and Daniel Carr, both of whom had a hat trick in Friday’s game, with Carr completing his in overtime. John Quenneville also notched three goals for the Devils in a losing cause.
With all of last night’s scratches drawing back in for the Rocket, the team will hope to extend the winning streak to four.
