Captain Raphael Diaz, who took a heavy check to the upper-body area in last Thursday's game against Canada, was kept out of the lineup. He was replaced by Romain Loeffel, while Philippe Furrer took over the captaincy.
In addition, Patrick Fischer relied on Jonas Hiller as starting goalie and Tobias Stephan as backup, whereas Leonardo Genoni was a healthy scratch. Moreover, Gregory Hofmann jumped into the lineup for Simon Bodenmann.
