There is no rest for the wicked in this COVID-hampered season, especially for the Laval Rocket who rolled into Belleville after losing in overtime to the Utica Comets on Friday night. The Rocket fought hard to overcome the two-goal deficit they dug themselves early in the game, but their comeback came at a price. Laval was without Alex Belzile, J.-S. Dea, and Lukas Vejdemo against the Senators, forcing the team to run with an 11-forward, seven-defenceman alignment on the night.
Terrance Amorosa rejoined the lineup as the extra defenceman, and in net it was Louis-Philip Guindon, getting his second career start in the AHL after a strong win over Texas last week.
