The American Hockey League club the Montreal Canadiens lowered its flag during Friday and Saturday’s games in Ontario. This time, the Quebec team came out like a lion.
In fact, the Rocket scored the game’s first four goals, and they did so in the first 13 minutes of the game. Joël Teasdale, Brandon Gignac, Antony Richard and Madisson Bowey were the originators of these successes.
Lucas Condotta, Nate Schnarr and John Parker-Jones were the other scorers for the Laval team. In the case of the last on this list, it was his first goal of the season. The 22-year-old defenseman from Ontario played his 16th game in a Rocket jersey.
Mattias Norlinder, Williams Trudeau and Pierrick Dubé all had two assists in the win.
In front of the visitors’ cage, Cayden Primeau parried 39 of the 41 shots by the “Sens”. He was beaten only by Roby Jarventie, who scored a second brace in as many games against head coach Jean-François Houle’s side.
The Rocket will be back in action this Friday. On this occasion he will visit the Americans in Rochester. In four matches so far this season, the two clubs have each won two games.
