A comeback of the Canadian is not totally out of the question but with four other healthy imports, Biel might decide to wait longer.

As reported by the Bieler Tagblatt, Martin Steinegger, team manager of EHC Biel, admits that Marc-Antoine Pouliot could play, but only if necessary. Therefore, the Seelanders might not force his comeback. The 34-year-old has been out with a knee injury since before Christmas.

According to the same newspaper, forward Mike Künzle will not play tonight against the SCL Tigers. He was already ill last week. On a more positive note, Michael Hügli resumed skating with the rest of the team, however, the length of his absence is still undefined.

Also, Anton Gustafsson, who played his last game on January 25, is out indefinitely with shoulder problems.
