According to the agreement between SCB and HCL, Manzato will not be playing in the games between the two teams on December 5 and January 23 and the Bianconeri can recall Manzato at any time, if their starter Elvis Merzlikins is not able to play for any reason.
Furthermore, HC Lugano informs that SCB will have to release Manzato for the Spengler Cup with Lugano. Meanwhile, youngster Viktor Östlund will definitely join the club until the end of the season and for now back up Merzlikins. (lcu)
