After a sorely needed win on Sunday afternoon in Manitoba, the Rocket attempted to keep their playoff hopes alive against the Moose once again.
Laval saw two major losses heading into the game from Sunday’s win however. Cayden Primeau was an unexpected recall to the Montreal Canadiens, leaving Kevin Poulin to try to keep Laval afloat. Also missing was Brandon Gignac, who did his best to tough out Sunday’s game but was unable to play this contest.
Tuesday’s start was exactly what the Rocket wanted to see in a crucial game. Laval pushed the Moose back multiple times before breaking through with an odd-man rush.
