The Laval Rocket started their final four games of the year with a matchup against the Springfield Thunderbirds, whose lineup included 2017 first-round pick Owen Tippett. For the Rocket they once again scratched defensive regulars Tom Parisi and Éric Gélinas, in order to get a better look at the handful of tryout players currently on the team. The rotating cast on the top line with Chris Terry and Adam Cracknell continued with Jeremy Grégoire rounding out the trio for the game.
Starting in net was Zach Fucale, while he was backed up by Michael McNiven after Charlie Lindgren started on Wednesday night.
