Dal Colle returns (again): Lehigh Valley pregame

Might be just a one-night return engagement, but Michael Dal Colle steps in tonight for Scott Eansor, with a little swapping that reunites him, Connor Jones and Josh Ho-Sang, the line that played well together to start the season in Allentown. No Devon Toews.

Matt Gaudreau went down to Worcester, for the night at least. See what happens after the break, which is 60-65+ minutes away.
