The Olympics has lost the services of goalkeeper Remi Poirier, who will be out for two to four weeks due to a lower body injury.
Gascon will join the Olympics on Saturday and be in the squad for the late afternoon game against Val d’Or Fours.
In addition, the Olympics transferred goalkeeper Alexis Saint-Amour Lachance to Terrebonne Cobras from the AAA Quebec Junior Hockey League.
