Less than 24 hours after a wild 12-goal game between the Laval Rocket and Abbotsford Canucks, the two sides squared off again on Sunday evening. Following an extremely uneven performance in the previous night, head coach J.-F. Houle made a few changes to his lineup.
First was the healthy scratch of forward Danick Martel, with his spot being taken by Joël Teasdale on the fourth line. With Jan Mysak also out injured, the Rocket switched to an 11-forward, seven-defenceman alignment, allowing Justin Barron to return from his minor injury. In net it was again Kevin Poulin and Arturs Silovs doing battle after a night to forget for both on Saturday.
