After another strong showing and a win over their closest divisional rival, the Laval Rocket had another meeting with the Stockton Heat in Calgary. Joël Bouchard made just a handful of lineup changes, sliding in Arsen Khisamutdinov and Yannick Veilluex in place of Liam Hawel and Michael Pezzetta. Cayden Primeau was the named starter after Michael McNiven got the start the previous game, and Vasili Demchenko served as his backup.
It took just 67 seconds for Laval to get on the board, continuing a recent trend of hot starts. A puck hopped over Alexander Yelesin’s stick, sending Joël Teasdale and Joseph Blandisi down the ice.
