The Laval Rocket celebrated their fourth straight win by defeating the Comets 4-3 in Utica thanks to Luke Tuch’s first two goals on Saturday night.
As a reminder, Pascal Vincent’s men won by the same score against the same Comets on Friday. In today’s win, Tuch, Joshua Roy and Alex Barré-Boulet played a strong game.
