The season is just beginning for the Laval Rocket, but with a 1-3-1 start it was far from what the team expected after a strong end to last year. Thankfully for the Rocket, they had a chance to start righting the ship in another matchup with the Belleville Senators. The Senators have remained a persistent thorn in the side of the Rocket, and J.-F. Houle needed a full 60-minute effort from his team to get back on track.
William Trudeau was a healthy scratch in favour of the veteran Corey Schueneman, while Brandon Gignac, Nate Schnarr, and Xavier Simoneau all drew back into the lineup on the fourth line.
