After two weeks in Langenthal, Loïc In-Albon will play with the SCL Tigers on Friday against SC Bern. After recovering from a concussion sustained in September, the young forward had been getting in shape with the Swiss League club.

For one player who comes back, two have to sit out on Friday due to injuries: Chris DiDomenico sustained a shoulder injury during the last game before the international break, while Samuel Erni is dealing with a concussion. Whereas DiDomenico might be able to return on the ice next week, Erni and Andrea Glauser, who, as already reported last week, also sustained a concussion, will be out for some time.

For his part, Aaron Gagnon is getting closer to a comeback, as he was able to skate by himself on Tuesday. Gagnon has been out of the lineup since the beginning of October with a foot injury. Moreover, also the young Latvian forward Rihards Melnalksnis sustained a concussion during the international break while playing with the Latvian national team. Melnalksnis, who mainly played on loan from the Tigers to SC Langenthal, will also be out for quite some time.
