It was already the third duel of the campaign between the two teams, with the Ottawa Senators farm club triumphing on each occasion.

In today's duel, the crowd favorites seemed in control for much of the match, but their indiscipline, particularly late in the game, cost them valuable points in the standings.

With seven minutes left in regulation time, Brandon Gignac was sent to the dungeon for four minutes after hitting Scott Sabourin in the face with his stick and causing him to bleed. Then Tory Dello was given an extra two minutes for delaying the game. The visitors took advantage of that two-man advantage to tie the game through Roby Jarventie.

It was also with the advantage of a man that the Senators nailed the coffin of the Rocket. With nine seconds to go in the third period, Rourke Chartier threw a cold shower on the Laval team, who could only see the damage.

Egor Sokolov, also on the power play, scored the Senators' other goal in the second period.

Anthony Richard, with one more man, and Brandon Gignac hit the target for Jean-François Houle's men.

In front of the Rocket cage, Cayden Primeau blocked 28 of the 31 pucks aimed at him. His vis-à-vis, Kevin Mandolese, stopped 31 of the Rocket's 33 attempts.

The Montreal Canadiens school club will now have the opportunity to recover on Friday and Saturday, each time at Place Bell, against the Rochester Americans.
