Rémy Rimann had been sidelined for quite a while due to shoulder pain. HC Sierre will, however, still have to make do without Mike Wyniger (out for another three to four weeks), Thibaut Monnet, and Yves Brantschen.
While Emilijus Krakauskas and Fabio Arnold will once again not be available to the Swiss League team, they will be able to count on Benjamin Bougro and Edouard Margairaz.
