HEAT FALL TO ROCKET

Cayden Primeau made 17 saves for the Laval Rocket (16-4-1-1) as the Stockton Heat (9-10-1-0) were shut out for the first time this season in a 3-0 setback Friday in Montreal.
Laval scored 2:36 into the action to take the early lead, Brandon Baddock lighting the lamp with the only score in the first two periods. Yannick Veilleux added to the Rocket's advantage less than two minutes into the third, then Ryan Poehling punctuated the scoring with an empty-netter.

The Rocket were able to stifle the Heat offensively, limiting Stockton to six, five, and six shots per period, respectively, and hold the Heat scoreless on three trips to the man-advantage.
Artyom Zagidulin made 19 saves on 21 shots faced in the contest.
