Linus Klasen likely to miss Lugano's season opener

"It is no serious problem, but also not worth the risk on the first day", Lugano's head coach Greg Ireland commented on the issue, as RSI reports.

Klasen has not played a National League game since March 29 (a loss in the semifinals against EHC Biel). However, he has suited in all four Champions Hockey League games so far this season, recording two goals and two assists.

Another absence from practice was Matteo Romanenghi. The forward sustained a minor bruise yesterday and should be ready for tomorrow.
