MONTREAL - Kenny Agostino certainly made the most of his Saturday afternoon at Place Bell.

While the Laval Rocket dropped their second straight game to the Springfield Thunderbirds, the 26-year-old forward scored twice.
His first, coming with just 56 seconds remaining in the first period, was nothing short of spectacular.

His second, coming in the latter stages of the final frame, was an absolute rocket.
Fast forward to the 1:48 mark of the highlight-reel below to enjoy!

Through seven games, Agostino is the Rocket's leading point-getter with seven points (3g - 4a).
The Canadiens agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way contract with Agostino back on July 1st.
He was the AHL's leading scorer and MVP in 2017, and boasts 22 games of NHL experience with Calgary, St. Louis and Boston.
The Morristown, NJ native is a product of Yale University and was selected 140th overall by the Pittsburgh Penguins back in 2010.
