The Biancoblù's captain, Elias Bianchi

The 29-year-old forward sustained a ligament injury in his right ankle in last Saturday's clash with HC Davos, which will keep him off the ice for about two weeks.
The club's medical staff will keep a close eye on Bianchi's recovery process and evaluate whether surgery is required now, or if it can be postponed until the end of the season.
Bianchi is in his eleventh straight season with the Biancoblù. This summer, he took over the team's captaincy from Michael Fora, who left HCAP to try his luck overseas with the Carolina Hurricanes.
