The Abbotsford Canucks secured their second consecutive away win of the season after beating the Laval Rockets 3-2 on Wednesday (23 November).

Abbotsford scored three goals in the second period and managed to hold back the Rockets’ push in the second half.

Canucks defenseman Guillaume Brisebois scored his first goal of the season, opening the scoring 26 seconds into the first period, but Raval’s Justin Baron reacted 124 seconds later to tie the game.

Will Lockwood scored his sixth goal of the season after redirecting a point shot from Christian Wolanin on a 9:01 power play. Lane Pederson then collected a team-leading seventh goal in the second half to put Abbotsford up 3–1.

After Peter Abandonato scored at 15:12 in the third, Raval threatened to come back late, but Canucks goaltender Colin Delia held the forts. Delia had one of his better games on the season, and he made 25 saves to clinch the win.

Kyle Lau led the Canucks with seven shots, and Phil Di Giuseppe added four.

Abbotsford’s record improves to 7-6-0-1 with the win.

The Canucks continue to travel, next heading to Calgary to take on the Wranglers on Friday (November 25) and Sunday (November 27). They will return home on November 29th when they host the Bakersfield Condors.
