The Rocket saw a three-game winning streak snapped on Friday night when the Senators came back from 2-0 down to snag a 5-3 victory over Laval. It was a frustrating loss as Laval’s mental errors handed a game away to a division rivals. The defeat, and subsequent recall of Corey Schueneman up to Montreal, forced J.-F. Houle into a few small lineup changes.
First was Jan Mysak joining the forward group as the fourth-line centre between Riley McKay and Nate Schnarr. The other big change was Philippe Desrosiers getting the nod for his first Rocket start after Cayden Primeau started Friday’s night’s game.
