While Azevedo is out several weeks due to a back injury, Baltisberger is practicing individually. Baltisberger is currently recovering from a surgery in which a plate was removed from his leg. Liekit Reichle and Livio Truog will replace them during the preseason.
The ZSC Lions will also occasionally provide a practice opportunity to NHLers Tim Berni, Denis Malgin, Jonas Siegenthaler, and Pius Suter. They will either practice with them or the GCK Lions.
