Konstantin Schmidt likely to return to Ajoie's lineup on Wednesday

The 28-year-old forward has been dealing with a knee injury, which kept him out of the Ajoulots' lineup since mid-December last year (except for the game against HCC on January 2). Schmidt has suited up in 28 games this season so far, recording eleven goals and 19 assists.

In addition, still according to the same source, HC Ajoie can count on EHC Biel's youngster Valentin Nussbaumer for Wednesday's game. The 17-year-old forward will suit up for them via B-license.

Deux bonnes nouvelles pour les supporters du @HC_Ajoie_off avant le match de ce mercredi contre @ehcwinterthur : le retour au jeu probable de Konstantin #Schmidt mais aussi le premier match sous leurs couleurs de @ValNuss_21. #LQJ #hcajoie
