The good news first: HC Thurgau will be able to count on their defenseman Silvio Schmutz again, the Thurgauer Zeitung reports.
The bad news: Janik Loosli is still experiencing troubles with his knee and will most likely have to undergo surgery. If an operation is actually needed, the forward will probably be sidelined for up to four months. Moreover, also forward David Baumann is out due to hip problems.
