The 19-year-old forward did not only break his nose when he got hit by a puck in practice last week but also his cheekbone. This will take a little time to heal properly.
As for Sébastien Reuille (adductor problems), Janick Steinmann (check to the head) and Julien Vauclair (thigh), they should all be ready to return to the lineup this weekend, even though the latter did not try to hit anybody this morning in practice. However, Stefan Ulmer (upper body) is still questionable.
