Friday’s game wasn’t just about the competition on the ice; it also saw some significant roster moves. Laval traded forward Jacob Perreault to the Edmonton Oilers organization in exchange for defenseman Noel Hoefenmayer. The move addressed recent defensive struggles for the Rocket, a key area of concern as they strive to maintain their standing. The Rocket also welcomed back Joshua Roy from the Montreal Canadiens, and his impact was immediate. Roy notched a goal during regulation and delivered in the shootout, further cementing his status as one of the team’s top contributors this season.
Rookie forward Owen Beck was another standout, tallying his fifth goal of the season. Beck, a promising second-round pick by the Canadiens in 2022, continues to shine alongside other young talents on the team. Laval’s roster features several rising stars, including Jared Davidson and Logan Mailloux, who have both been instrumental in the team’s strong start to the season.
The action continues Saturday afternoon as these two rivals meet again. With the Marlies closing in on the standings and Laval seeking to build a cushion, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
