After the first season with six foreigners, the impact of this increase is reflected in the National League scoring list. It is dominated by import players. After the last selection for this World Cup in Riga (Lett) and Tampere (Fi), Tyler Moy of the Lakers, the best Swiss scorer of the World Cup team, fell down.

The 27-year-old is fourth with 24 goals and 27 assists. The right-handed shooter, who had only one assist in nine games on the Euro Hockey Tour, will be replaced by NHL forward Denis Malgin (26, Colorado).

Which Swiss National League storm forces can be expected to be exploited on this international stage? A look at the bare-bones scorer statistics may be cause for concern in this regard. Behind Moy, the second best Swiss player in the NL ranking Enzo Corvi (30) of the current World Cup team is in 25th place. The HCD Center especially excelled in preparation with 33 assists (7 goals).

Then there is a gap to Christoph Bertschy (29, Fribourg) in 45th place with 17 goals and 16 assists. With Sven Senteler (30, Zug), Calvin Thürkauf (25, Lugano) and Marco Miranda (24, Servette), even three strikers fall out of the top 100 (see box).

NHL shines like beacons of hope

In the entire preparation for the World Cup, the Swiss have only had two turf festivals: in the 6-0 win over France and in the 5-3 win over Latvia. In the second game against the same opponent, two and one goal were scored respectively. The national team had a more difficult time against the well-known countries Finland, Sweden and the Czech Republic: in the last week of the Euro Hockey Tour they never scored more than three goals (against the Czechs).

Our NHL exports are traded as beacons of hope – also for this reason. Nino Niederreiter (30, Winnipeg) and Malgin should provide momentum and above all bring a target threat to the offensive. The arrival of Kevin Fiala (26, LA Kings) and possibly soon Nico Hischier (24, New Jersey Devils) is therefore awaited. This expectation of the players in the best league in the world is logical and justified. The Swiss offensive players, who have to perform, are also under pressure.
