Rocket Weekly: Laval’s Penalty Kill Earns a Split in Calgary

The Laval Rocket finished October by earning a two-game series split against the Calgary Wranglers on the road. After dropping the opening match 4-2 on October 29 despite a heavy first-period shot advantage, Laval rebounded with a 2-1 victory on October 31. Two shorthanded goals from Jared Davidson and Xavier Simoneau helped secure the win, while goaltender Kevin Mandolese stopped 10 shots to earn his third victory in three starts.

Brian La Rose highlights defenseman Braden Hache as a standout free-agent signing who has secured a top-four role and excelled on the penalty kill. Laval also welcomed back Vincent Arseneau from a four-week injury absence as they prepare for upcoming fixtures against the Lehigh Valley Phantoms and Cleveland Monsters.
