The Lions de Trois-Rivières made their way down south last week, for the first time visiting two teams from the South Division, the Greenville Swamp Rabbits and the South Carolina Stingrays, the ECHL affiliates of the Florida Panthers and the Washington Capitals, respectively. They would collect only three points out of a possible eight as the Lions continue to tumble down the standings.
Player movement
Headlining the weekly roster discussion last week was the unexpected trade on Friday of Cédric Desruisseaux’s ECHL playing rights by the Lions to the Wheeling Nailers. General manager Marc-André Bergeron was looking for some defensive reinforcements after the departures Carl Neill and Charles-David Beaudoin, so he made a trade with Wheeling for defenceman Jesse Lees.
