The Rocket found themselves back in action less than 24 hours after a loss in Allentown to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. The Rocket held a lead going into the third in that game before some mental lapses caused them to cough up the lead en route to a 4-3 loss.
Head coach J.-F. Houle didn’t have many spare bodies available to him, so the lineup changes against Wilkes-Barre/Scranton were minimal. J.-C. Beaudin slotted in on the fourth line, with Devante Smith-Pelly taking a spot in the press box as a healthy scratch. Joining Smith-Pelly was Shawn St-Amant, who was replaced by Alexandre Fortin.
