The Laval Rocket entered Wednesday night’s contest against the Binghamton Devils on the heels of a thrashing at the hands of the Toronto Marlies. To make matters worse, Laval would be without several of their best players. AHL All-Stars Chris Terry and Matt Taormina are out injured, and Nikita Scherbak is on recall in Montreal.
Also in the lineup would be ECHL try-outs D Matt Petgrave and F Chris Leveille, who were part of the 11 forward/7 defender alignment for the game. Both Petgrave and Leveille were making their AHL debuts. Zachary Fucale would get the start in net for the Rocket while opposite him was Ken Appleby for the Devils, and Laval came out with the 4-1 win.
