Bichsel (lower body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Saturday, retroactive to Nov. 30.

Scouting Report

The towering defenseman from Switzerland skates well for his size, is physical and has some offensive skill. He can carry the puck and create a little bit of offense, but puck play is not his strongest point. He can make opponents pay when they cross over the blueline and closes gaps pretty well. Also displays very good reach and physicality.

Long Range Potential: Big, mobile and tough defenseman.
