After a weekend away, splitting their series with the Cleveland Monsters, the Laval Rocket returned home to Place Bell on Wednesday night to kick off a two-game series with the Toronto Marlies. Charlie Lindgren got the start in this one, with Michael Hutchinson in net for the Marlies.
As the playoff race intensifies, the Rocket need as many points as they can get in these coming weeks if they hope to catch up to teams like the Utica Comets, who they’ll face this Saturday at home. The Rocket currently sit 10 points back from the Comets, who are holding on to that last playoff spot in the North Division.
