Medical Report

While Finnish defender Mikko Kousa has to undergo hip surgery and is out for the season, SC Bern can count again on the services of Canadian forward Trevor Smith, who has fully recovered from his elbow surgery, reports the Berner Zeitung.

Head coach Lars Leuenberger therefore has five import players at his disposal for Sunday's game in Zurich with goaltender Jakub Stepanek and forwards Andrew Ebbett, Cory Conacher, Derek Roy and Trevor Smith.

Finnish forward Sean Bergenheim, on the other hand, is still not close to a return to game action and remains out indefinitely with a concussion. (lcu)
