For arguably the first time all season, the Laval Rocket are mired in a bit of a slump, having dropped three out of their previous four games entering Friday night. They’ve played extremely well during that stretch, an impressive feat given the amount of players that were missing from their lineup since the beginning of the month. Last night, he team welcomed Xavier Ouellet, Alex Belzile, Cayden Primeau, and Jesse Ylönen back to the lineup against the Toronto Marlies.
This allowed Joël Bouchard a chance to ice a full lineup, with the exception of Josh Brook remaining on the wing due to his strong play there the last few games.
