HC Lugano without Stapleton, Brunner, and Filppula tonight

Tim Stapleton is injured whereas Damien Brunner and Ilari Filppula are both sick. Therefore, Lugano has to cope with just three import players. (bsc)

UPDATE According to Patrick Della Valle (Teleticino), Tim Stapleton is dealing with back problems and will pause tonight for precaution. He should be back by tomorrow. Furthermore, Ilari Filppula contracted a stomach bug when he was with the Finnish team during the national team break. (bsc)- 22 December 2015, 6:33 PM
