Hand surgery - LHC's Janne Kuokkanen done for the season

In January Janne Kuokkanen sustained a hand injury that required surgery. The medical operation went well, Lausanne HC announces. However, the expected recovery time is quite long, meaning that the Finn is done for the season. Kuokkanen last suited up on January 24 in the game against SC Bern.

Having missed a few games also during the first part of the season, Kuokkanen appeared only in 35 of Lausanne HC's 45 games played so far, scoring seven goals and collecting 18 assists.
