GCK Lions have to cope without Ryan Hayes

Due to the injury, the GCK Lions' import-forward had to leave the ice and was not able to return for the second period of the game, the Zürichsee-Zeitung reports. There is no word, however, on how long Hayes is going to be sidelined.

Ryan Hayes is an integral part of the GCK Lions. In 15 regular season games this season, he scored eight goals and added nine assists for a total of 17 points. Only their Swedish forward Victor Backman has collected more points (23 in 15 games).
