Last night, the Laval Rocket lost its duel against the Cleveland Monsters. The farm team was trying to avenge its defeat this afternoon with a rematch, still at the Place Bell.

Note that David Reinbacher, even though he took part in the warm-up, did not play today.

And visibly, the Rocket wanted to send a message today… because after 40 minutes, the score was 5-0 in favor of the Rocket.

Nothing less.

Jared Davidson and Laurent Dauphin each scored two goals (Tyler Wotherspoon scored the other)… and Dauphin’s second goal was a beauty.

However, what really caught our attention is what happened in the third period. In a game that was already in the bag for the Rocket, Adam Engström decided to show off a bit of magic.

The team’s defenseman allowed himself a rush… and he deked everyone in his path, including the opposing goalie.

It’s really a spectacular goal.

After today’s game, Engström now has five goals and 26 points in 60 games. For a defenseman in his first year in America, it’s not a bad haul.

Obviously, all the congestion on the blue line in Montreal makes it difficult for Engström to become indispensable… but with sequences like this, he’s giving himself arguments.

In the end, the Rocket won 6-0. Filip Mesar had two assists in the win, while Connor Hughes (11 saves) earned the shutout.

Let’s recall that the Rocket is well established in first place in the AHL. It’s another win that allows the team to distance itself from the rest of the league, then.

In a lot of news

– Jared Davidson almost suffered an injury similar to Kaiden Guhle’s. Luckily, he avoided the worst.

– Ah yes?

– It wouldn’t be surprising if he’s the Canadiens’ representative.

– Jared Bednar, a big fan of the Bell Centre atmosphere.

– Wow!

– Dalibor Dvorsky recalled by the Blues.
