Fresh off a thrilling 7-5 win on Friday night against the Senators, the Rocket took to the ice again in Belleville looking for their first consecutive wins of the season. Despite a hugely successful offensive showing on Friday, head coach J.-F. Houle opted for an 11-forward, seven-defenceman approach to the game on Saturday. Alex Green drew in as the extra blue-liner while Joël Teasdale was a healthy scratch.
In net it was the veteran Kevin Poulin who got the nod as expected, duelling Antoine Bibeau, who had played the previous night in relief of Logan Flodell, who was chased from the net in the second period.
