Is Arnaud Montandon an option for EHC Biel?

"We wanted to see what shape he is in," Olsson tells the Journal du Jura. However, he was not willing to reveal more to the newspaper. Montandon received a tryout opportunity from Genève-Servette HC in August but has yet to turn that into anything tangible.

Given EHC Biel's injury situation (Damien Brunner, Jason Fuchs, Gilian Kohler, Michael Hügli) and Damien Riat's absence (training camp in Washington), Montandon just might be a short-term solution for the team.

Montandon played for HC Ajoie last season. In 42 regular-season games, he recorded eight goals and 14 assists. He added one assist in the playoffs to his tally.
