Emil Djuse and Nathan Vouardoux will both be out until after the national team break. The same applies to defenders Rajan Sataric and Inaki Baragano, who have been injured for a while. With only five defenders available, thus, the SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers have borrowed Rocco Pezzullo from HC Ambrì-Piotta and acquired the B-license of Misha Moor from HC Thurgau.
In exchange for the help this weekend, the SCRJ Lakers will allow their captain, Andrew Rowe, to participate in the Spengler Cup with HC Ambrì-Piotta. Rowe is the first reinforcement announced by the Biancoblù for the traditional tournament in Davos.
