The Edmonton Oilers still can't shake the flu bug.
Gilbert Brule, who's been down for nearly a week, didn't accompany the team to Calgary yesterday, and neither did Mike Comrie, who played in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets despite coming down with the bug.
And now J.F. Jacques is starting to look a little green around the gills.
He was taking shots of throat spray in practice and didn't look very good afterward.
To fill the spots, the Oilers have recalled defenceman Theo Peckham, whose rugged style should blend in nicely with the Battle of Alberta.
If Comrie doesn't catch up with the team today, defenceman Jason Strudwick could move up to forward, and Peckham could fill his spot on the back end.
If Jacques can't go, they'll just have to compete with 19 players.
