Kneubuehler and Zryd return to Biel's lineup, Rajala and Heponiemi ill

Last Tuesday, Johnny Kneubuehler (injury) and Miro Zryd (illness) could not travel to Bern for the road game against the Bears. The forward and the defender have now recovered and fully practiced with the rest of the team, the "Journal du Jura" writes. Also sidelined due to illness last Tuesday, Toni Rajala and Aleksi Heponiemi will likely miss tomorrow's game as well, as they have not practiced today, the same source reports.

In addition to Rajala and Heponiemi, HC Biel is still without Gaëtan Haas and Viktor Lööv, who have both been sidelined for quite a long time with concussions. “We don't know when they'll be able to get back on the ice. It's hard to imagine them making a comeback in a month when it's been four months since they last played,” states assistant coach Beat Forster.
