Wednesday night’s game against the Binghamton Devils was one to forget for a Laval Rocket team clinging to the faintest of Calder Cup playoff hopes. Undisciplined play and a stagnating power play combined to fuel a 5-1 defeat to a Devils team that had not won in 10 games. Perhaps bigger than the result on the ice was the loss of rookie centre Lukas Vejdemo, who was hit hard by John Ramage early in the first period. Vejdemo was wobbly while leaving the ice, and did not make the trip to Rochester and Toronto.
While the team will be bolstered by the addition of standout WHL defender Josh Brook, he will not join the team until Saturday’s game against the Marlies.
