The Laval Rocket have lost games this year. They’ve lost in regulation, they’ve lost in overtime, but on Monday night they lost everywhere on the ice in Ottawa. The Rocket never found a gear outside of neutral, and a Belleville side hungry for their second win of the year picked them apart without much issue. It was a harsh loss, one that the entire team and coaching staff took to heart.
Luckily, they didn’t have to wait long for their rematch, clashing with the Sens again on Wednesday night. Joël Bouchard opted to re-insert Arsen Khisamutdinov and Jan Myšák into the lineup over Jake Lucchini and Michael Pezzetta.
