Siegenthaler suited up in 75 games for the Caps' AHL affiliate the Hershey Bears this season, recording six goals and six assists. Since the Bears did not clinch a playoff spot and the Capitals are not in need of the youngster, he has been given the green light to join the national team. Whether Siegenthaler will jump into the lineup already for the games against Norway on Friday and Saturday this week has yet to be decided.
As for EV Zug's Dominic Lammer, the 25-year-old winger has sustained a foot injury in the past World Championship preparation week and will thus not rejoin the national team, the SIHF informs.
Switzerland's roster for the third preparation week and the games against Norway on Friday (Langenthal) and Saturday (Biasca):
Netminder (3): Leonardo Genoni (SC Bern), Gilles Senn (HC Davos), Joren Van Pottelberghe (HC Davos).
Defensemen (9): Raphael Diaz (EV Zug), Michael Fora (HC Ambri-Piotta), Lukas Frick (Lausanne HC), Tobias Geisser (EV Zug), Joël Genazzi (Lausanne HC), Romain Loeffel (Genève-Servette HC), Claude-Curdin Paschoud (HC Davos), Jonas Siegenthaler (Hershey Bears/AHL), Ramon Untersander (SC Bern).
Forwards (13): Yannick-Lennart Albrecht (SCL Tigers), Simon Bodenmann (SC Bern), Enzo Corvi (HC Davos), Gaëtan Haas (SC Bern), Simon Moser (SC Bern), Killian Mottet (HC Fribourg-Gottéron), Damien Riat (Genève-Servette HC), Noah Rod (San Jose Barracuda/AHL), Thomas Rüfenacht (SC Bern), Tristan Scherwey (SC Bern), Calvin Thürkauf (Cleveland Monsters/AHL), Joël Vermin (Lausanne HC), Samuel Walser (HC Davos).
