Not to sound alarmist, but the Laval Rocket are starting to dig a nice little hole for themselves in their quest to make the playoffs in their inaugural season. They are currently sitting seven points behind the Utica Comets and the final playoff spot in the North Division. In six seasons behind the bench of the Montreal Canadiens AHL farm team, head coach Sylvain Lefebvre would certainly want to avoid missing the playoffs for a fifth time.
With 33 games left in the regular season, the situation is not dire for the Rocket, but certainly stringing together a few victories would go a long way towards qualifying for the playoffs.
