After goalie Reto Berra and forward Nino Niederreiter, head coach Patrick Fischer will have at least one more NHL reinforcement for the World Championship in May: Mirco Müller has received the green light from his NHL-team, the New Jersey Devils. He will join the national team on Monday.

While confirming Müller, the Devils did not mention his team mate Nico Hischier. According to American media, the 19-year-old shooting star has to undergo further medical examinations, before a decision is reached.
