It was a night of returns at Place Bell for the Laval Rocket as a few missing players made their comeback to the lineup. Brandon Gignac stepped back in just as Gabriel Bourque exited due to an injury, but the Rocket also brought up Riley McKay from the ECHL as an insurance policy.
Also returning was starting goaltender Cayden Primeau, who had missed most of this season on recall with the Habs and due to an head injury sustained while sitting on the bench. He got the nod in net against Belleville with Kevin Mandolese opposing him for the Senators.
