For the first leg of the Round-of-16 matchup against Jukurit Mikkeli, HC Fribourg-Gottéron will not be able to count on Mauro Dufner. Suffering from concussion symptoms, the defenseman will not make the trip to Finland, as La Liberté writes.
A possible candidate to reinforce the Dragons' defense for upcoming games might be Simon Seiler. Under contract with EHC Olten, the 26-year-old was invited to Fribourg's practice on Sunday and is a possible B-licence candidate, as La Liberté cites Christian Dubé.
