HC Bolzano reportedly interested in goaltender Melvin Nyffeler

According to Michele Bolognini (Hockey33). Melvin Nyffeler is apparently among the candidates for the vacant goaltender position of HC Bolzano. Nyffeler's contract with the SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers expired in spring.

Nyffeler had been in the running for the back-up netminder position of HC Ambrì-Piotta, but ultimately lost out to Genève-Servette HC's Gauthier Descloux. The youngster, who is a product of the ZSC Lions' organisation, thus now might have the chance to play in the EBEL.

The 21-year-old goaltender had a good last season with the Lakers, posting a .928 save percentage in 27 regular season games and a .935 save percentage in 17 playoff games. (mso)
