Luca Hischier had been sidelined for quite some time due to a concussion. He has already been fully practicing for a while and has been considered day-to-day by the team for the past week.
EHC Biel did, however, have to make do without Kevin Fey, who, according to 24 heures, is dealing with a foot injury. Also, as the Journal du Jura reports, they lost Luca Cunti to injury in the 48th minute of play.
