With goalie Dominic Nyffeler (photo) from Hockey Thurgau and the American forward William Rapuzzi from EHC Visp, the Rapperswil-Jona Lakers will try to secure their place in the National League A in the upcoming weeks.
More ambitious are both SC Bern and Genève-Servette HC, who reinforce their teams for the playoffs. In addition to Visp's Sandro Wiedmer, also Julian Schmutz, who has played on loan for Visp, joins SC Bern. Genève-Servette HC, on the other hand, has added Thurgau's defenseman Kevin Kühni to their roster. (tme)
