Ten days after their last game, EHC Olten will return to the ice tonight, hosting HC Thurgau. In defense, the Mice will have to make do without Aaro Törmänen and also Finn Bichsel, who is not injured but has been called up by EHC Biel, which in turn has to deal with the selection of Niklas Blessing to the extended squad of the U20 Swiss national team. Gianluca Burger and Joel Kurt's returns are imminent.
In the offense department, four players are out: Patrick Obrist, Dominic Weder, Fadri Riatsch, and Marco Cavalleri, albeit Riatsch has returned to practice. Like Bichsel, Mark Sever will also momentarily return to EHC Biel, which needs to deal with the selections of Niklas Blessing and Jonah Neuenschwander as well.
