Sannitz suffered an upper-body injury game in the game against Genève-Servette HC on Saturday. He left the game in the 27th minute of play. He is not severely injured, but head coach Greg Ireland does not want to risk anything "at this time in the season".

Philippe Furrer, who had missed last weekend's game, is good to go. Stefan Ulmer (concussion) might also soon be ready to hit the ice again. He and Linus Klasen will definitely not play this weekend, though.
