Bykov's prolonged absence also led Dubé to sign Ryan Vesce as replacement for Mattias Ritola: "When I replaced Bykov, I knew I had no other choice. A center was needed due to the absence of Andreï Bykov."
Bykov suffered a severe concussion due to a heavy hit by EHC Biel's Marco Maurer, who received a two-game suspension for this play. In 33 games for HCFG this season, the 28-year-old forward has scored nine goals and 20 assists.
