The 32-year-old forward will also be eligible to play for HC Red Ice until the start of the playoffs, as Gottéron has reached an agreement with the NLB team. He is set to play for Martigny on Tuesday, but will be at the disposal of the Dragons for the next weekend.

Sprukts is a former draft pick of the Florida Panthers but only played 14 games for them, spending most of his time in North America in the AHL. However, the majority of his career he played in the KHL, lastly for Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, scoring five points (one goal, four assists) in 16 games for them this season. (mso)
