After nearly completing a second straight come-from-behind win on Wednesday night against the Syracuse Crunch, the Laval Rocket hit the road for the weekend series against the Belleville Senators.
Unluckily for the Rocket, the Senators would be bolstered by the return of their incredible young defenceman, Erik Brannstrom, after he had been recalled by the NHL club in Ottawa earlier this week. The Senators sat a comfortable nine points ahead of the Rocket heading into this game, but with the Rocket’s recent surge in play they had every chance in the world of tripping up their divisional rival.
