The two goals motivated the Checkers, as they put the pressure on the Rocket for the remainder of the period, but Marcoux made 13 saves including a spectacular glove save to leave Charlotte off the board at the end of the period.Ĭharlotte continued to outplay Laval in the second period, outshooting the Rocket 17 to 8 in the frame. The crowd was still cheering from that goal when Alexandre Alain went on a breakaway off the ensuing face-off to score his fifth goal of the season only eight seconds later. Nikita Jevpalovs opened the scoring with 5:48 remaining in the period with a top corner wrist shot from the face-off circle that beat Scott Darling on the blocker side. The first period started off with a quick pace but not a lot of stoppages in play. Etienne Marcoux got the start in goal after getting a night off on Friday, but there were no other changes in the lineup. Charlotte expected to come out stronger than the first game of this series as they likely wanted to leave town with some points in the standings. Laval closed out 2018 with the second matchup of a weekend series against Charlotte, after the Rocket beat the Checkers by a score of 4-2 on Friday night.
