It was another night of returns at Place Bell for the Laval Rocket as they welcomed starting goalie Cayden Primeau back to the fold as they were set to take on the Manitoba Moose. The rest of the lineup remained the same, save Pierrick Dubé replacing John Parker-Jones on the fourth line.
The Rocket again came out of the gate as the stronger side, using their speed and pressure to draw the first power play of the game in the early going. Both waves pushed the Moose back, but lacked just a touch of finesse needed to finish off their sharp passing plays.
