"The absence of Vauclair will weigh heavily, but it's now up to players like Wilson, Chiesa and Furrer to fill this gap," coach Greg Ireland tells RSI. It might thus also be clear that defender Ryan Wilson (CAN) is set to return to game action, probably replacing forward Tony Mårtensson (SWE) in the lineup.

Vauclair had to be helped off the ice in Game 1 with an undisclosed injury. Back in the lineup yesterday, the 37-year-old then had to throw in the towel again in the 15th minute of play.
