Sorel native Nicolas Aube-Kubel scored the overtime winner 48 seconds in to give the Lehigh Valley Phantoms a 3-2 overtime victory over the Laval Rocket at Place Bell Friday night. Laval’s latest loss is their fifth in their last six games. Phantoms forward Phil Varone also scored twice for the visiting team.
The Rocket’s power-play struggles continued Friday night. The team hasn’t scored a goal on the man advantage in six games, going 0-for-24 in that span.
“There’s guys that know they should be scoring and they’re not,” Rocket head coach Joël Bouchard said post-game.
