Ahlström out indefinitely, HCC's defence decimated

HC La Chaux-de-Fonds' head coach Serge Pelletier will have to make do without another defenceman. Philip Ahlström left the game on Sunday against EHC Visp with a concussion and is out indefinitely.

Ahlström is only the last of several other injured defencemen, Kevin Kühni, Raphaël Erb, Enzo Guebey and Sacha Wollgast are still out. Moreover, Will Petschenig risked a suspension for his hit to the head of EHC Visp's Luca Camperchioli.
