After splitting their weekend road trip in Ontario, the Laval Rocket once again returned home to Place Bell for a showdown with the Belleville Senators, a team that less than a week ago had embarassed Laval. Losing 7-2 is bad enough, but it was made worse by dismal goaltending and any sort of cohesive team effort.
The Rocket made two major lineup changes coming into this match, with Xavier Ouellet replacing David Sklenicka on defence, and Morgan Adams-Moisan stepping in for Antoine Waked in the forward group.
Michael McNiven looked to build on his overtime win in Toronto with another start for Joël Bouchard, facing off against Marcus Hogberg for the Senators.
