EHC Biel is still negotiating with goaltender Melvin Nyffeler, as the Journal du Jura reports. The two parties started negotiations about one month ago. Moreover, goaltender Lukas Meili will have to leave Biel this spring.

About three weeks ago, Nyffeler announced that he will indeed leave his current team, the SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers, in the NLB at the end of this season as he wants to find a new place in the NLA. In Biel, the 21-year-old could be part of their goalie-duo alongside Simon Rytz.

Moreover, according to the same source, Lukas Meili's contract with the Seelanders will not be extended. After three seasons in Biel, the 24-year-old goaltender will thus have to find a new team.

Furthermore, the Seelanders will have to make do without Maxime Macenaur and Fabian Sutter this weekend. They are sidelined with undisclosed injuries. Igor Jelovac, on the other hand, might return to game action next week. (bsc)
