    Starting lineups:

    Rouen Dragons: Sabourin (Papillon) – Coulombe, Dorey, Koudys, Langlais, Matheson, Chakhiachvili, Durand – Thinel, S. Treille, Miller – Geunette, Koudis, Lamperier – Y. Treille, Hussey, Perret – Delbaere, Nesa, Raux, Bedin.

    HC Davos: van Pottelberghe (Senn) – Dubois, Jung, Nater, Rahimi, Forrer, Heldner, Schneeberger, Paschoud – Ambuehl, Welser, Egli – Lindgre, Axelsson, M. Wieser – Kessler, Aeschlimann, D. Wieser – Kousal, Joerg, Simion.

    A win, in regulation, is the only way in which Rouen can stay alive in this year's CHL. Anything less than that and both Davos and Djurgarden will be qualified for the next round before the Swedes visit Rouen later this week.

    Fabrice Lhenry, Dragons coach, looked ahead to the game saying, "It will be our first CHL game in the history of the club in Rouen. We will do our best for a victory for our fans, and because two wins are the only chance for us to continue the competition."

    Davos winger Mauro Jorg added, "We don't just want to win in Rouen, but give a strong performance. On Friday our own league starts, so this is the ideal way to prepare for that game with a good match for 60 minutes showing how ready we are."
     
    Welcome. Game starts at 19:45.
