Joshua Roy not delivering the goods so far in the playoffs

Just because the Canadiens and La Victoire are on vacation doesn’t mean the Montreal region can’t be buzzing with hockey.

From Wednesday to Sunday, Ville de Laval is set to host three high-intensity games in five days. The Rocket, who won every other game in Rochester, will be visited by the Americans for games #3, #4 and possibly #5. The team that wins two games at Place Bell this week will win its three-out-of-five series and advance to the AHL Final Four.

The Rocket will be practicing this morning at Place Bell, and we’ll be keeping an eye on Laurent Dauphin (the team’s leading scorer in the playoffs), as well as Logan Mailloux and David Reinbacher. Why keep an eye on these three guys? Because they were absent from practice yesterday..

We’ll also find out whether Cayden Primeau or Jacob Fowler will get the start. Primeau and Fowler each had an average game in Rochester, but Primeau got the win and it would be his turn if we were to follow a basic rotation. My call: Primeau will play on Wednesday.

Pascal Vincent still has two and a half days to find solutions to muzzle Kale Clague, Jiri Kulich, Isak Rosen and Konsta Helenius, as well as to find gaps in Devon Levi’s goaltending.

Will he succeed?

For the Rocket, there’s one player who will have to give his team (and fans) more: Joshua Roy.
