Two weeks after being hurt in the same game, Marc Cavosie and Pat Dwyer will rejoin the Albany River Rats' lineup at an ideal time.

The two forwards will make their return together Wednesday night at the Times Union Center, as the Rats host Philadelphia in the opener of their best-of-seven first-round Calder Cup playoff series.

Cavosie, a Cohoes native, and Dwyer were two of Albany's hottest players when they went down in an April 2 shootout win at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, missing the final five regular-season games with what were called "lower-body" injuries.
