While EHC Biel's Damien Brunner left the game already in the 16th minute with an undisclosed lower-body injury, his opponent Lausanne HC's Christoph Bertschy was forced to leave the ice after blocking a shot in the 46th minute of play.
According to 24 heures journalist Jérôme Reynard, Bertschy's injury might not be as severe as feared. The player is, however, set to undergo further examination in order to determine the exact nature of it.
