HCL's Florian Blatter hurt in first period against GSHC

The 29-year-old defenseman had to leave the game, after he seemed to have hurt his shoulder due to a hard hit by Genève-Servette HC's Lennart Petrell.

Furthermore, forward Julian Walker also returned to the locker room late in the third period, after he was hit by Goran Bezina. He also seems to have hurt his shoulder in the play.

As for the severity and the exact nature of the injuries and what it could mean for the next playoff game, we will have to wait for further updates.

Bezina vient d'écrabouiller Walker de tout son poids en chutant. Retour au vestiaire du Luganais, qui n'a pas l'air bien. #hcl #gshc
