Following a hard-fought 2-1 loss to the Belleville Senators on Wednesday night at Place Bell, the Rocket headed out on the road for a two-game stint in Ohio against the Cleveland Monsters.
They did so without Kevin Poulin and Gabriel Bourque, both of whom were nursing minor injuries after a busy month of games. While Riley McKay was called up as a spare body, he was left out of the lineup in favour of John Parker-Jones, while Philippe Desrosiers served as Cayden Primeau’s backup.
Laval jumped all over the Monsters right out of the gate, firing multiple shots on Jet Greaves before Cleveland managed to clear their lines.
