HCC's David Eugster dealing with a concussion

David Eugster spent the night from Sunday to Monday in hospital but was released on Monday. Eugster is not the only player in HC La Chaux-de-Fonds' infirmary: Viktor Östlund (ill) is also not yet ready to hit the ice again.

Julien Privet (lower-body injury) will likely make his comeback after the international break on November 11. As for Oliver Achermann, he is practicing with the team again but it is not clear whether he will be able to make his comeback in mid-November.
