According to the Le Nouvelliste, Thibaut Monnet received a blow to his nose in the game against HC Visp and has not been practicing ever since. For the moment, thus, HC Sierre will have to make do without the veteran forward.
For his part, Arnaud Montandon will return in three weeks from the hand injury he sustained in the pre-season. Montandon underwent surgery to place a plaque in his hand that will be removed only at the end of the season.
