After a big three-game week when the Rocket compiled a 2-1-0 record while missing most of their regular players, the club was right back into the fire on Wednesday night. The good news for the Rocket was that, with the Canadiens getting healthier, many of their missing players were returning to the team. Among them were Rafaël Harvey-Pinard, Alex Belzile, and Jesse Ylönen, while Gianni Fairbrother slotted back in on defence alongside Louie Belpedio.
Backing them up in net was Kevin Poulin, the only contracted player available for the Rocket as Michael McNiven and Cayden Primeau were on recall with the NHL club.
