Logan Shaw scored the winning goal in a shootout as the Laval Rocket fell 4-3 to the Toronto Marlies on Saturday evening at Place Bell. This, less than 24 hours after the team beat the Hershey Bears 3-2 in overtime on Friday night in a tough home weekend against the AHL Eastern Conference’s two best teams.
The Rocket took the lead midway through the first period when a cross-ice pass from Lucas Condotta made its way to Xavier Simoneau who had a wide open net and made no mistake.
Simoneau threw a monkey off his back in celebration as it was his first goal in 16 games dating back to November 19, before his injury that kept him out for about a month.
