For head coach Christian Dubé it is clear: "I'm not going to put my players' lives in danger," he says to La Liberté. Marco Forrer has been out with a concussion since the end of October, and Samuel Walser and Matthias Rossi (both upper-body injuries) were expected to be sidelined for an even longer time. But: "In the current situation, we're trying to push a bit," Dubé explains.
Definitely not able to return are David Desharnais, Philippe Furrer, and Andrei Bykov. Canadian forward Zach Boychuk, on the other hand, is questionable for this weekend's games. "It's not as as bad as we feared," Dubé says to the same source. And even though Killian Mottet was missing in practice, he should be good to go: "[It's] nothing that should stop him from playing."
