match No 4 of the series between the Rocket and the Monsters is presented on RDS and the RDS.CA.
Summary: Monsters 0 – Rocket 3 (1st period)
Jacob Fowler is in front of the net of the Laval Rocket, while he will try to end the Cleveland Monsters this evening.
Victorious in the first two duels of the series played in Ohio, Fowler had given way to the veteran Cayden Primeau on Sunday, when the Lavallois bowed 3-1 on the Place Bell ice rink.
Jet Greaves had been exceptional in the last match to keep Cleveland alive in the series with his 36 stops and the Rocket wanted to disturb him on Tuesday so that history is not repeated.
With a lot of traffic around him, the porter was unable to immobilize the washer launched by William Trudeau who converged on the net and Xavier Simoneau went behind to push her to the bottom of it. The Rocket therefore took the lead 1-0 after 4:22.
Dylan Gambrell gave a gift to Laval by sending the washer over the bay window and the locals took advantage of their second digital advantage of the meeting. Laurent Dauphin doubled the bet only 24 seconds later by redirecting the shot of Alex Barré-Boulet.
It was far from finished since Logan Mailloux continued to roll the attack on five by bringing the brand to 3-0, still in the first third. As Simoneau, it was a first goal in these series for the defender.
Pre-match notes
In front 2-0, the Rocket then had the opportunity to complete the scan in this confrontation at the best of three games at the weekend. Despite the setback brought to his file, Primeau had nothing to blame himself in this meeting.
-Olivier Kapanen, he left no doubt during match No. 3 as to his imminent use. Inserted into the training after being sold to the Rocket by the Canadian, the Finn was the best striker of his family against the Monsters on Sunday.
After being left out by his coach to make room for Kapanen in alignment, Quebecer Brandon Gignac will reintegrate him, to the detriment of striker Luke Tuch.
In the event of a defeat this evening, the Rocket will be forced to play an ultimate match against Cleveland on Friday, once again in place Bell.
