Hershey scored the opening two goals in their Wednesday night visit to Laval. Then, they allowed three goals in the third period and one in overtime to lose, 3-2, to Laval Rocket.

Jake Massie scored the opening goal in the game, a Quebec native with over 20 friends and family members in attendance to see their hometown hero. It was his second goal of the season. Massie left the game with under a minute remaining in regulation with a lower-body injury after colliding with Laval’s Rafaël Harvey-Pinard.

Chase Priskie scored the second goal of the game, his eighth of the season. Seven of those eight are on the power-play. It gave Hershey a 2-0 advantage with 4:09 remaining in the opening period.

Laval outshot Hershey 8-5 in the middle period, but no one converted into the net to keep Hershey ahead 2-0.

Sean Farrell scored Laval’s first goal of the game, with 12:06 remaining in the game for an attempt at a late-game rally. Laurent Dauphin scored the equalizer a minute and five seconds later, tying it 2-2 in 4-on-4 play.

Adam Engström hit the dagger, just over a minute into overtime. It solidified their three-goal comeback for the win, improving Laval’s record to 24-11. Laval leads the North Division.

Ethan Bear dressed for his 400th professional game in the loss. He was in on the assist for Chase Priskie’s goal.

“We played a good first period, but a crappy second and third. All three goals against us were preventable. They’re just one-on-one battles with us getting beat. Shep played outstanding. He’s the main reason why we got the one point.” – Todd Nelson on tonight’s performance

“No, he was good, but it shouldn’t have even gone to 4-on-4. They run our goalie. We should have been on the power play, not 4-on-4.” – Todd Nelson on Laval’s 4-on-4 goal
