Other than Allan McShane, Loïn In-Albon, and Kay Schweri, Kyle Olsen is also close to a return. However, he will likely only play in the quarterfinal if it goes beyond four games.
HC La Chaux-de-Fonds will also receive reinforcement from B-license players but at the moment it is not yet clear which players will be available. For now, Steven Macquat, Bastien Pouilly (HC Ajoie), Liekit Reichle (EHC Biel), Louis Robin, Arno Nussbaumer, and Rémi Vogel (EV Zug) are practicing with the team.
