ROCHESTER, N.Y. — It's been a long and largely successful run for the Rochester Americans in the AHL playoffs. 

A run that could come to an end Wednesday night.

Brandon Gignac, Louie Belpedio, and Lucas Condotta scored for Laval, while goaltender Cayden Primeau made 31-saves. 

Artuu Ruotsalainen scored in the third period for Rochester. 

Laval can advance to the Eastern Conference Finals with a win at Blue Cross Arena on Wednesday night.
