Joshua Roy works his magic (again) in a Rocket victory – Canada Boosts

It doesn’t occur usually, however the Laval Rocket performed a (weekday) afternoon recreation right now in Winnipeg.

Jean-François Houle’s males had been making an attempt to win a second consecutive recreation in opposition to the Moose, and so they did so with flying colours.

The sport ended 5-2, and the second win in a row will do a lot to spice up the Rocket’s morale after a troublesome begin to the season.

Right here’s what I bear in mind in regards to the recreation.

1. It’s usually stated, however Joshua Roy is a hockey participant via and thru.

He labored his magic right now, racking up two factors in his workforce’s victory, bringing his whole to 16 to this point this season (in 12 video games).

To suppose that the Canadiens drafted him within the fifth spherical, with the a hundred and fiftieth choose of the 2021 draft…

Within the victory, the chemistry between Roy and Sean Farrell was notably noticeable. The latter served up a complete cross to the Quebecer, enabling Roy to hit the goal for the seventh time this season:

Within the third interval, the 2 younger males went at it once more, and it was Farrell who accomplished the gorgeous sequence this time.
The Rocket arrived on the counter-attack and Roy noticed Farrell on the mouth of the online, who solely needed to deposit the puck in a nearly deserted cage :

Roy completed the sport with a aim and an help, whereas Farrell collected a aim and two assists.
The American actually appears to be discovering his toes on the ice: he boasts 9 factors in 12 video games this season, a comparatively attention-grabbing manufacturing for an AHL rookie.

2. Strauss Mann was sensible within the Rocket’s win, stopping 26 of the 28 pucks directed his method.

Now in his second season within the AHL on the age of 25, Mann picked up his first win in a Laval Rocket uniform. He had not received in his final six outings.

It’ll do his confidence a world of excellent.

3. Xavier Simoneau’s efficiency could be silly to miss.

The diminutive ahead performed as he does so nicely: he troubled the opposition all recreation and was one of many Rocket’s most harmful forwards.

Simoneau had but to attain in 9 video games this season, however he opened his account with not one, however two targets in opposition to the Moose. Simoneau now has eight factors (together with two targets) in ten video games.

If he continues to carry out like this and retains the identical depth on the ice, likelihood is he’ll have an outstanding profession on the skilled degree.

4. It’s the primary time all season that we’ve seen the Canadian’s club-school win back-to-back video games.

The Rocket returns residence for 2 video games this week at Place Bell. On Wednesday, the Belleville Senators would be the guests, whereas the Laval outfit will tackle the Lehigh Valley Phantoms on Friday.
The Rocket should take benefit: the Senators (6-4-0) are in nineteenth place and the Phantoms (5-6-2) are twenty first within the general AHL standings.
Sounds promising.
