After a hectic finish to 2018, whe tnhe Laval Rocket played three games in three nights, they were right back at it again, playing their division rival, the Belleville Senators, once again. Last week the Rocket dropped a 6-4 decision to the Sens, due in part to some questionable officiating down the stretch.
The Rocket were still without Noah Juulsen, but also added Michael McCarron and Hunter Shinkaruk to the injured list for this game. Hayden Verbeek drew back into the lineup for Shinkaruk, while Byron Froese returned from his injury.
