On the heels of a blown 3-0 lead on Saturday afternoon, the Laval Rocket found themselves right back in the thick of things as they welcomed the Cleveland Monsters to Place Bell on Monday night. The Rocket kept their lineup mostly intact from Saturday’s loss, with Gianni Fairbrother drawing in for Josh Brook on the third pairing.
The other change was in net, as Kevin Poulin got the nod over Michael McNiven, and Cayden Primeau served as the backup for Laval.
Things started in a hurry at Place Bell as the Monsters nearly scored on their first shot of the game after Poulin kicked out a rebound that required a sliding block to deny what looked like a sure goal.
