Following a disappointing opening weekend against the Belleville Senators, the Laval Rocket returned to the home confines of Place Bell for on Wednesday night. Taking the ice against them was their opponent from last year’s Eastern Conference Final, the Springfield Thunderbirds.
With Mitchell Stephens serving the second game of his suspension, Nate Schnarr drew into the lineup for a second game in a row. Also back was rookie William Trudeau on defence, getting the nod over Alex Green on the third pair alongside Madison Bowey. In net was Cayden Primeau who was in search of his first win of the season after losing in overtime on Friday.
