The Canadian is back on the road as he finds himself in the Salt Lake City area to face André Tourigny and Utah HC tonight.
The troop of Martin St. Louis will try to continue its streak of four consecutive games with at least one point after losing in a shootout to the Dallas Stars last Saturday at the Bell Center despite a solid performance from the goaltender Samuel Montembeault.
Earlier today, we reported that the young striker Emil Heineman had been involved in a road accident when he was hit by a car while walking on the street.
Fortunately there was more fear than harm but he will still have to miss 3 to 4 weeks due to an upper body injury.
We learned at the same time that the DG Kent Hughes was not going to carry out a recall following this incident.
For the occasion, the head coach revealed his potential lineup for the match.
