22-year-old defenseman Daniel Eigenmann has played eleven games for the Lakers this season, but has yet to appear on the scoresheet. His teammate, 23-year-old forward Reto Schmutz, has also yet to record a point this season, even though he has played 23 games for the Lakers so far.
The Lakers mainly are sending them to HCT, so that the two young players can gain more experience and get more ice time, which is important for their development. Both are already practicing with Hockey Thurgau today and are eligible to play in tonight's game against HC Red Ice.
