Lukas Vejdemo scored twice, but it wasn’t enough as the Laval Rocket lost 5-3 to the Rochester Americans on Friday night in New York.
With Vejdemo’s two goals, he became the all-time leading goal scorer in Rocket history, passing his teammate Alex Belzile, who had set the record just days ago. Cayden Primeau made 28 saves as the Rocket had their three-game winning streak snapped by a tough Americans team that won their fifth straight game.
Laval is dealing with a depleted lineup, missing Laurent Dauphin, Jesse Ylönen, Xavier Ouellet, and Corey Schueneman to NHL recalls or injury.
