Another defender out - HC Lugano's Justin Schultz sidelined with an illness

To react to Justin Schultz's defection, HC Lugano has called 19-year-old Enea Togni up to the main squad for the first time in his career. The youngster has been playing for the U20 squad of the Bianconeri since the 2021-22 season.

Schultz is the second import player of the Bianconeri who has to throw in the towel for today's game against ZSC Lions in the last few days. Only yesterday it was announced that Radim Zohorna is dealing with a chest injury.
