During his first shift of the game, Calvin Thürkauf fell on the ice and collided with the boards in the offensive zone. Thürkauf immediately looked in pain and, according to RSI, he was transported to the hospital for medical analysis.
As the SIHF informs, the exams confirmed the shoulder injury. Thürkauf will have to undergo surgery and is expected to fully recover in about two months. Damien Riat will replace him on Switzerland's roster.
