Providence, R.I. – The Providence Bruins hosted the Laval Rocket to open the 2024-25 season and the Rocket delivered a 5-2 thumping. The Bruins opened the scoring early in the first period with a power play goal from Vinni Lettieri. The Bruins Patrick Brown would follow that up just past the midway point of the period for a 2-0 lead but the Rockets Adam Engström would add a tally a few minutes later and that’s how the period would end. The Rocket dominated from that point in the game and would get a power play goal from Filip Mesar and a score from Logan Mailloux, first of two for the game, in the second to take the 3-2 lead. The Rocket would add two more in the third from William Trudeau and Logan Mailloux to seal the victory. Rocket goalie Jakub Dobes notched the win facing 11 shots for the game as the Bruins were out shot 39-11 in the game.
