The Rocket thought they would suffer their fourth defeat in a row on Wednesday, but Pascal Vincent’s men managed to turn things around.

Indeed, trailing 2 to 1 with less than 10 minutes remaining in regulation time against the Crunch in Syracuse, Rafaël Harvey-Pinard leveled the score to send the two teams into overtime.

It was ultimately young striker Owen Beck who sealed the outcome of the match, scoring his fourth goal of the campaign with the help of defender Adam Engström.

We had to wait until the second period to see things liven up in the game. Recently demoted to Laval by the Montreal Canadiens, forward Joshua Roy wasted no time in getting noticed by opening the scoring.

Nevertheless, the Crunch then scored two unanswered goals thanks to Derrick Pouliot.

The numerical advantage game was also a real success for both clubs, because the four goals scored during regulation time took place with a man advantage.

With this victory, the Rocket is now in first place in the North section, with 29 points in 21 games. The Laval residents will return to action against the Toronto Marlies at Place Bell on Friday.
