Alexandre Texier (Zurich) absent for several weeks

“Upper body injury” – according to the formula of his new team in Zurich -, Alexandre Texier will be away from the Swiss and European ice rinks for several weeks. Wednesday evening, during the first match of the National League season against Rapperswil-Jona (1-4), the French center was the victim of a charge against the band of striker Jeremy Wick.

The Canadian-Swiss received a match penalty, one-match suspension and a fine of 2,500 Swiss francs (2,600 euros) for this stroller in the back.

It’s a terrible setback for the former Grenoble resident, who arrived at the Lions this summer from the Columbus Blues Jackets (NHL). Before this injury, he had scored five points (1 goal, 4 assists) in five Champions League matches.
