Lias Andersson and Yanick Sablatnig to return to Biel's lineup

For their first game in the new year, January 2 against Genève-Servette HC, EHC Biel should be able to count on some comebacks. As the "Journal du Jura" writes, Lias Andersson - out since November - was able to practice normally on Monday. The same goes for Yanick Sablatnig, who missed a few games before the Christmas break.

Robin Grossmann, Anthony Greco, and Yanick Stampfli were unable to attend Monday's practice due to illness. The former two should be available for Thursday's game nonetheless, but the latter is more doubtful.

Of the other infirmary members, Damien Brunner is expected back at some point in January, Gaëtan Haas and Viktor Lööv are still sidelined indefinitely with their concussions and Jérémie Bärtschi's season is still over.
