HC Lugano calls back Viktor Östlund from Sweden to replace injured Merzlikins

Östlund, who successfully fought leukemia in 2015, already joined the Bianconeri on loan from the Wings HC Arlanda (Märsta, SWE) at the end of October last year in order to step in for injured Daniel Manzato. The Swede is in possession of a Swiss player's license and thus does not count against the import-player contingent.
