An already hectic week for the Laval Rocket became a bit more crazy as they traveled to Cleveland for a two-game series with the Monsters. Their first game was originally scheduled for Friday night, but due to the NBA play-In rounds happening in their arena, the AHL game was bumped up to Thursday night. That in turn meant the Rocket had to pack up shop in Rochester and bus the four hours to Cleveland for the game after playing into overtime on Wednesday.
Following the loss in Rochester, J.-F. Houle reunited his former top line of J.-S. Dea, Rafaël Harvey-Pinard, and Jesse Ylönen, while Lukas Vejdemo and Alex Belzile formed a second line with Danick Martel.
