Forward Thomas Rüfenacht had to be carried off the ice on a stretcher and was taken to the hospital after a open-ice check by Lugano's Clarence Kparghai. As Der Bund reports, the Swiss international was diagnosed with a "severe concussion".
Just minutes after the Rüfenacht-incident, also defenseman David Jobin had to leave the ice - also after a hit by Clarence Kparghai. According to the same source, Jobin experienced problems with his adductors and did not return to the game.
