The 20-year-old netminder has been given the go-ahead by Genève-Servette HC, who own his rights, and joins them via B-license. He will remain with Ajoie until Gauthier Descloux returns from the World Junior Championship.

In other news, forward Raffael Lüthi sustained a metacarpal fracture in last Sunday's game and will be out for four weeks. (mso)
