Less than a full day after a thorough 6-1 spanking at the hands of the Texas Stars, the Laval Rocket were back in action in the heart of Texas once again. What had started as a strong game for the Rocket on Friday quickly went awry thanks to a poor showing from the penalty kill in the second period.
Head coach J.-F. Houle opted to make just a few small changes, most notably shifting Alex Belzile to centre between Rafaël Harvey-Pinard and Joël Teasdale. Alexandre Fortin was made a healthy scratch, while Devante Smith-Pelly joined the lineup on the fourth line.
