Amerks Eliminated By Laval In Five Games
The Rochester Americans hoped to build off the momentum of a 5-1 victory in Game 4 against the Laval Rocket on Friday in a fifth and deciding game, but the Amerks fell behind early and could not catch up to the North Division champs, losing 5-0 at Place Bell on Sunday. After taking advantage of rookie Jacob Fowler and scoring four goals on 14 shots in Game 4, Rochester was stymied by Rocket goalie Cayden Primeau, who is following up an impressive regular season (21-2-2, 1.96 GAA, .927 save %) with three wins against the Amerks. Devon Levi made 29 saves in the loss. Other Sabres Stories Is Peterka In Prime Position For Big Payday?

Incredible season, 50 wins. We forced it to a game five. They were just better tonight. There's no other way to put it. They did a really good job on our top guys….They were just better in every facet. They were just really good tonight. We had no answer. They just kept coming.' In the list of impressive performers for Rochester, defenseman Kale Clague led the club in scoring with 11 points (5 goals, 6 assists), Isak Rosen tied with Clague for the club lead in goals with five, and rookie Konsta Helenius had six points in eight games. In the disappointing category, Noah Ostlund had only 2 assists in the playoffs. Follow Michael on X, Instagram, and Bluesky @MikeInBuffalo

Third period collapse sends Amerks to game 3 defeat
The Amerks spent over 42 minutes trying to get even with Laval in game 3. The Rocket barely needed two to put Rochester behind again. And once they got the Amerks down, Laval buried them. A three goal third period powered Laval to a 4-1 win over Rochester in game 3 of the North Division Final and a 2-1 series lead. The Amerks will be playing to keep their season alive on Friday. Lukas Rousek's wrister 2:46 into the third period knotted the game at 1 after the Rocket scored in the game's opening 15 seconds. Two minutes and change later, Florian Xhekaj sent a backhand over Devon Levi's shoulder to restore the Laval lead. Amerks head coach Michael Leone thought that goal was one Levi would like to have back. The go-ahead goal particularly stung because the Amerks had been rewarded for confidence in themselves just a couple minutes earlier. 'The vibe in the locker room was just kinda 'stay in it'. We were gonna find a way to get one eventually. We're too good of a hockey team not,' Jack Rathbone said. He had an assist on the Rousek goal. 'When we did, just tough to give up one. Little deflating to give up one that quickly.' The Rocket doubled their lead 65 seconds later when William Trudean fed Laurent Dauphin for a tap-in at the back post. Joshua Roy jumped on a rebound just after the halfway point of the third to close out the scoring. Levi faced only five shots in the third period and stopped just two. Rochester outshot Laval 32-20 for the game. It was the first time all year Levi allowed three goals or more in three consecutive games. 'Third period to me, it feels weird. Felt like we were in the (offensive) zone quite a bit and generated a lot of opportunities,' Mason Jobst said. 'I just feel like they were very opportunistic. Any little mistake we made, they capitalized.' Rochester now must win two consecutive games in Quebec to advance against a Laval team that lost 12 times at home all season. Jobst said the focus is not winning two games. It's just about winning one on Friday in game 4. 'To me, it wasn't a 4-1 hockey game. They made a nice play on the (go-ahead) goal and got a little momentum in that five minute segment,' Leone said. 'I really liked a lot of the things we did. Now our back is up against the wall. We're going to need the same effort (Friday), but I thought we did lot of good things.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
