It took Rochester John Marshall a period to wake up, but once the Rockets did, they rolled to a 5-1 Big Nine Conference boys hockey victory against Faribault.
Five players scored once each for JM in the victory at the Rochester Recreation Center on Tuesday.
"That's what we need come playoff time," JM coach Jay Ness said, "we need three lines contributing and everyone chipping in where they can."
Sam Broman, Kevin Henslin and Jared Bromberg all had a goal and an assist for the Rockets (3-6-1 Big Nine, 5-12-1 overall), who bounced back after playing well in a loss to rival Rochester Mayo on Saturday.
Alex Welder and Cole Donahue also scored for JM.

"It took us a period to realize it's game time, but we played much better in the second and third," Ness said.
Patric Sadecki played well in goal for JM, stopping 25 shots, including 14 in the first period.
Faribault dropped to 4-7-1, 7-7-2.
JM plays host to Albert Lea on Thursday.
