Forwards Joël Teasdale and Lucas Condotta, as well as defender Frédéric Allard will join head coach Jean-François Houle’s group for the duel in the evening against the Syracuse Crunch, at Place Bell.
The three men played with the CH the day before in a losing cause of 5 to 4 in front of the Bruins of Boston. Condotta scored his first National League goal in his first appearance, while Teasdale added an assist to his record. Allard, meanwhile, has played three games for the big club this season, maintaining a +2 rating.
To clinch their ticket to the playoffs on Friday, the Rocket will need an overtime win or loss against Syracuse and the Cleveland Monsters losing to the Utica Comets.
