SCL Tigers' Sean Malone and Saku Mäenalanen sidelined with injuries

During the game against HC Lugano on October 1, Sean Malone suffered a partial muscle tear in his abdominal muscles. The US-American forward is thus expected to return to the SCL Tigers' lineup only in the second half of November.

As for Saku Mäenalanen, he sustained an injury on September 24 in the game against HC Davos. The exact length of his absence is still unclear and his condition is being reassessed on a daily basis. The Tigers will thus be able to deploy only four import players this evening in Rapperswil.
