As Leksands IF's physiotherapist Per-Ivar Andersson told DT (news relayed by hockeysverige.se), Lian Bichsel is on his way back but will not return until next week. Bichsel was injured last Thursday after being sent into the boards by Djurgården IF's Tim Söderlund.

Bichsel, a product of EHC Olten and EHC Biel, is widely considered to be one of the most promising Swiss prospects. So far, the big left-handed defenseman has collected three points in 29 regular-season games with Leksands IF, which he joined at the beginning of this season.
