Beat Gerber underwent surgery due to the compartment syndrome, i. e. the risk that his muscles, blood vessels, and nerves could be damaged by the massive bruise. It is possible that the 37-year-old will have to undergo more surgeries.

The longest-serving SC Bern player, who is already playing in his 17th season with the Bears, recorded one assist in eight games so far in this season.
