Medical Report

Thomas Wellinger's presence is also doubtful, having played only one minute and eleven seconds yesterday.

Elvis Merzlikins was recently voted as the best Latvian player of the year.

According to the RSI, the Latvian, presumably still sick, will be sidelined also for tonight's game against Genève-Servette HC. Moreover, Wellinger had to leave yesterday's game against HC Ambrì-Piotta after only one minute, therefore HC Lugano might have to make do without him as well. As the Blick reports, the defenseman was hit by a puck on the foot. The severity of his injury has not been disclosed at the moment.
