Following their come-from-behind, four-goal-third-period win against the Utica Comets on Saturday night, the Laval Rocket were back in action against the Syracuse Crunch. It was another crucial game with the Rocket sitting nine points out of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Dropping points against divisional rivals is nothing short of devastating at this point in the season.
With Charlie Lindgren on recall to Montreal, the net was returned to Michael McNiven, who has quietly begun to put his game together at the pro level. Connor LaCouvee served as his backup for the night.
