The Calgary Flames announce that they have activated Jonas Hiller from injured reserve. As a consequence, the Flames send netminder Joni Ortio the their AHL affiliate, the Stockton Heat.

As the Minnesota Wild announce, Christoph Bertschy, who was recalled yesterday on an emergency basis due to Jordan Schroeder's illness, has been reassigned to their AHL affiliate, the Iowa Wild, again.

As Angelo Chiello (Radio Ticino) reports on Twitter, Serge Pelletier is also still in the running to be the new head coach of the Swiss national team, as he says himself in an interview.

Only four teams are remaining in the race for the second Swiss Ice Hockey Cup since its relaunch last season. In the semifinals, SC Bern will face the ZSC Lions, and Lausanne HC will host the Kloten Flyers.

After Josh Holden and Sandro Zangger left EV Zug's last game against HC Lugano injured, Holden should be back for the return match tomorrow night at the Resega.
