Rocket @ Penguins recap & highlights: Late push falls short
Photo by Minas Panagiotakis/Getty ImagesThe Laval Rocket had a frantic attempt at a comeback fall just short as they lost 2-1 to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins on Friday night at the Mohegan Sun Arena.
Gabriel Bourque scored his fourth goal in as many games to start the season with 3:03 remaining on a six-on-four advantage, but that was as close as the Rocket would come. Rocket head coach Jean-François Houle pulled goaltender Cayden Primeau for the extra attacker with over two minutes remaining, but Laval just couldn’t get the tying goal past Penguins goaltender Dustin Tokarski.
The shots were 10-3 Laval in the third period of play.
