The Bianconeri are currently short on defenders, as Thomas Wellinger, Stefan Ulmer as well as Philippe Furrer are injured. Additionally, Elia Riva will likely be part of Switzerland's World Juniors squad and also be absent. 23-year-old Sartori has been playing on loan with the Finnish team this season, scoring three assists in 18 games for them.

Sartori should be able to play for the Bianconeri in Thursday's game against Genève-Servette HC.
