Elias Bianchi definitely suspended for this weekend's games

The tribunal makes clear that Bianchi's hit to the head of SC Bern's Calle Andersson definitely warrants a three-game suspension. If it, however, warrants the four-game suspension Elias Bianchi was issued by the single judge yesterday will be decided by the SIHF sports tribunal next week.

HC Ambrì-Piotta had appealed against the single judge's verdict yesterday. While Bianchi will definitely miss this weekend's games, a final decision on his case will thus not fall before next week.
