The Laval Rocket needed a strong second half to make a push towards the playoffs and it hasn’t gotten off to a good start. The Rocket lost their fifth straight game, 5-2 against the Belleville Senators on Friday night at Place Bell.
The combination of Drake Batherson, Filip Chlapik, and Logan Brown combined for three goals and Marcus Hogberg made 20 saves in the Senators win.
Batherson got the scoring going on Belleville’s first shot of the game. He took the puck to the net and spun before beating Charlie Lindgren just 3:57 into the game.
