It was a challenging start for the Laval Rockets in Wednesday's AHL game. They found themselves trailing 3-0 against the Rochester Americans by the end of the first period.
However, an unexpected turn of events occurred during a delayed penalty.
As the Rochester Americans pulled their goalie, Filip Cederqvist inadvertently scored an own goal, putting the puck into his own empty net on a centering pass.
The surprising part was that Rocket's goalie, Strauss Mann, was the last player to touch the puck, and he was credited with the goal. It was a unique and unexpected moment that allowed Mann to celebrate with his teammates.
