EHC Olten without several of their players

EHC Olten was unable to count on their captain Patrick Obrist as well asl Guillaume Asselin, and Jayce Hawryluk, for their preseason game against the GDT Bellinzona Snakes. The three forwards are slightly banged up and were thus left out of the lineup.

Jamie Villard also did not play last night. The forward took a hit to the head in the game against HC Sierre last week and is currently in the return-to-play protocol.
