National League

The Tages-Anzeiger had reported earlier today that Melvin Nyffeler was one of the candidates for the temporary replacement of Luca Boltshauser. In fact, he has now received a tryout opportunity from EHC Kloten.

According to Angelo Rocchinotti (Blick), Nyffeler has now been given an opportunity to convince EHC Kloten of his abilities. He will be in tryout with the club until Thursday. He will, however, not participate in the Cup.

The 21-year-old goaltender had a great season with the SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers last season, but for various reasons they could not agree on a new contract. Though he is practicing with Hockey Thurgau, he has yet to find a new employer.
