Sami Niku ready to return's to LHC's lineup, Théo Rochette not yet

According to Grégory Beaud ("Blick"), when Lausanne HC hosts HC Ajoie on Friday, they will be able to count on Sami Niku, who sustained an injury at the end of October. For his part, Théo Rochette is closer to a comeback but will probably not play. As for Dominik Kahun, who sustained an injury with the German national team, there is still no timeline for his return to game action.

Antti Suomela is also back on the ice, but the Finn is not expected back in the lineup anytime soon, as his return is scheduled for the end of the year.
