Game Overview
The Laval Rocket host the Lehigh Valley Phantoms in an Atlantic Division AHL matchup where both teams are competitive but Laval holds the home ice advantage. The Phantoms have shown resilience on the road recently, but Laval performs strongly at home early in the season.
Key Factors to Consider
- Laval Rocket have a strong start to the 2025-26 season with a solid home record and a generally higher standings placement than Lehigh Valley, who are competitive but less consistent on the road (Lehigh Valley 4-3-0 recent).
- Lehigh Valley Phantoms have won 2 of the last 3 meetings, including a 3-1 win in Laval on March 29, 2025. However, recent matches have been close (one game decided by a single goal).
- No major injury updates reported for either team prior to the match.
- Lehigh Valley is amid a lengthy road trip and faces back-to-back games after this one, which may impact their energy. Laval benefits from home crowd support in Place Bell.
- Laval aims to cement their dominance at home early in the season. Phantoms are motivated to maintain momentum on the road and improve their standing.
