After a strong weekend for the Laval Rocket at Place Bell where they collected two huge wins, the team found itself starting a trip to Western Canada. The Rocket got another boost as they arrived in Manitoba for a two-game series with the Moose, as both Lukas Vejdemo and Sami Niku rejoined the club.
Missing well over a month, Vejdemo slotted in on the third line between Danick Martel and Joël Teasdale. Niku was allowed to leave the team as he and his significant other welcomed their first child, and his return was on the third pair alongside Olivier Galipeau.
