The Laval Rocket clinched a berth in the 2025 Calder Cup Playoffs on Friday evening with a 4-1 win over the visiting Toronto Marlies.
Laval, owners of the best record in the AHL at 42-16-3-1 (88 points), returns to the postseason after missing out in 2024. The Rocket reached the Eastern Conference Finals back in 2022.
Laval is the first team to clinch a playoff spot out of the North Division, which will see five teams make the postseason. The top three finishers will get a bye into the division semifinals, while the fourth- and fifth-place teams will meet in a best-of-three first-round series.
