Forster back for Biel, Herren still out for Lausanne

A knee injury has kept Forster sidelined so far this season. Now, for Biel's first game in the new year, the 35-year-old defenceman is finally back in the lineup. Marc-Antoine Pouliot is also able to return after missing the last two games of last year due to a shoulder injury.

On Lausanne's side, Yannick Herren is still not ready to come back. The 27-year-old forward has been out since mid-November also due to a knee injury. He was said to presumably be good to go again after the international break in December, but this is apparently not the case.
