As le Quotidien Jurassien reports, there's an agreement between GSHC and Ajoie that the 19-year-old netminder can play a couple of games in the NLB until the youngster will leave for the World Junior Championship in December.

Descloux is set to help out between the pipes of HC Ajoie because Elien Paupe has been suffering from pain in his shoulder and is thus forced to take a break.

Also Marco Pedretti's stay in Porrentruy could go beyond the Cup game tonight as he might also suit up for the game on Saturday. The former HCA junior player is happy to return back home "even if my contract situation isn't easy. I will know more at the end of the month, but I am hopeful that I can stay in Geneva." (lcu)
