Medical Report

As the Davoser Zeitung reports, Gregory Sciaroni, Enzo Corvi, Marco Forrer and Ruben Rampazzo are not yet ready to play tonight against HC Barys Astana in Herisau.

Corvi and Forrer are both still recovering from their respective hand injuries, Forrer from his torn cruciate ligament and Rampazzo from his knee injury.

All four hope to be ready for the start of the regular season on September 9. However, ideally, they would like to be back for the start of the Champions Hockey League in mid-August. Furthermore, San Jose Sharks forward Joe Thornton is practicing with the team. (mso)
