At long last, the Laval Rocket started to see their injured players return to the lineup with Nate Schnarr and Xavier Simoneau rejoining the team against Manitoba on Wednesday. Also joining the lineup was Nicolas Beaudin who returned after a trip to the Spengler Cup with Team Canada.
While Cayden Primeau was also back and healthy, he was given backup duty as Kevin Poulin got the start to keep his strong run of play going.
It didn’t take long for the Rocket offence to roar to life as they opened up the scoring in 17 seconds into the game.
