Fribourg's Julien Sprunger "50-50" for Game 4

Hit in the nether regions by Giancarlo Chanton's skate in the 32nd minute of the third semifinal game between HC Fribourg-Gottéron and Genève-Servette HC, Julien Sprunger had to toss the towel early. For the fourth act of the series, the forward's availability is questionable. "It is 50-50", head coach Roger Rönnberg is cited by La Liberté. "In any case, I am not worried in the long term". His optimism is reportedly not shared by many others, though.

If Rönnberg turns out to have been too hopeful, Sprunger's 1178th career game might just have been his very last.
