Fresh off of seeing their top player called up to the NHL, and after losing 7-4 in a limp effort in Cleveland, the Rocket took the ice once more. There were just two lineup changes, with John Parker-Jones drawing in on the fourth line, and Joe Vrbetic getting the start in goal.
With their leading scorer called up to the NHL, the Rocket needed a strong start from other veterans in the lineup. Alex Belzile obliged as his heavy shot kicked off a lengthy offensive-zone shift for the top line, but Pavel Cajan was able to deny a few chances before his net was pushed off its moorings.
