Binghamton forward Jan Mandat has been suspended for one (1) game as a consequence of a boarding incident in a game vs. Springfield on Oct. 28.
Mandat was suspended under the provisions of AHL Rule 28.1 (supplementary discipline). He will miss Binghamton’s game Friday (Nov. 3) at Utica.
Whoever elbowed Quenneville to the head did not get suspended and there was no call on the play.
I cannot recall the source - maybe Bingo writer on twitter - but apparently Jacobs is a first pairing player now. Considering he was seen as a scrap heap player not too long ago that’s a step in the right direction.
Binghamton Devils and pbp Rob Lippolis tweet the forward lines and defensive pairs before each game. Jacobs has started as the 1RD with Strait for all seven games.

@Ski has written about Jacobs on his twitter and in his articles.
How was he playing? Stunned how far he has fallen.
@Ski called this one. He said he didn't think Erixon would be signed. I thought otherwise.
I thought Erixon was another vet presence along with Strait and Loov. Albany as recently as last year carried 9-10 D. Binghamton started the season with 8 D. I thought they might be leaving room for Butcher/Santini if either struggled out of the gate.
Erixon was scratched twice in seven games. In his five games he had 1 assist, 4 PIM, 6 SOG and was +3 on the second pairing.
Maybe Tom Fitzgerald has someone in mind from the ECHL. They can sign a player from any ECHL team not on an AHL contract. Albany took Jacob MacDonald from Toledo last season.
D Nolan Zajac has 2 G, 3 A, 2 PIM, 8 SOG in 4 GP for Reading. Hate seeing him in the Flyers organization. Lehigh Valley has 8 D although Mark Alt is currently up with Philly.
edit: 1RD for Jacobs
edit 2: Jacobs has not worn an 'A' for Binghamton, he wore an 'A' for Sarnia.
