HC Fribourg-Gottéron will have to make do without defenseman Sebastian Schilt and forward Andrei Bykov against the SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers on Thursday, journalist Pierre Schouwey (La Liberté) reports.

Schilt, however, has taken up practice again and is set to make his comeback on Saturday, after he has been out for more than two weeks. Bykov, on the other hand, should be able to take up skating for himself soon, the same source reports.

Jeudi à Rapperswil, #Gottéron évoluera sans Bykov (qui devrait bientôt patiner pour lui) et Schilt (qui a repris l'entraînement, éligible dès samedi). Absents ce mercredi matin, Stalder (malade plus que sonné ) et Alpi (au repos) devraient tenir leur place. Berra dans les buts.
