HCFG's Borgström returns, Kapla should be able to play, Nicolet out

Kapla should be able to return to HC Fribourg-Gottéron's lineup on Friday, but Zenhäusern was also cautious, stating that they will have to see how Kapla reacts to the strain of intense training.

Henrik Borgström will also be back in the lineup. The Finnish player, who was injured during preseason, is ready to play again. Borgström: “I'm in good shape. Now I just need to get back into the rhythm of competition.”

Kevin Nicolet, on the other hand, will definitely miss this weekend's games. He likely suffered a minor concussion, but the exact nature of his injury has not been determined yet.
