On the heels of a successful three-game series against the Utica Comets, the Laval Rocket were in Cleveland on Friday night for the first time in franchise history to take on the Monsters in a North Division showdown. Laval was trying to extend their first winning streak to three games.
The last time that a Montreal Canadiens farm team was in Cleveland was way back in April of 2006. It was the Hamilton Bulldogs against the Cleveland Barons. Among scorers for Hamilton were Andrei Kostitsyn, Pierre Dagenais (2), and Kyle Chipchura in a 7-1 win.
