ZSC's Červenka questionable, Suter still in North America

Pius Suter will also miss the season opener. He is still in the training camp of the New York Islanders. However, contrary to what some rumours suggested, he will return to the Lions, as Sven Leuenberger tells the Tages-Anzeiger. Suter does not have an NHL out-clause.

As for Robert Nilsson, who is still dealing with the aftermath of his concussion, he is currently busy with off-ice training. However, it is not yet clear when or if he will return to the lineup.
