After Friday night’s dismal showing, the Laval Rocket looked to earn a split with the Utica Comets on Saturday afternoon. Joël Bouchard brought in sweeping lineup changes with Michael McCarron, Hunter Shinkaruk and Alexandre Grenier giving way for Alexandre Alain, Antoine Waked, and Daniel Audette. On defence Adam Plant and Ryan Sproul were replaced by Brett Lernout and David Sklenicka. After coming on in relief, Michael McNiven got the start in net for the Rocket, facing Ivan Kulbakov for the second day in a row.
