The next top game awaits HC Bozen

With the 5:3 win against KAC, Bozen has put itself in an excellent starting position in the fight for the last two quarter-final tickets. The Foxes are now five points clear of a non-playoff place. With a win in regular time and with the help of the competition (victories after 60 minutes in Innsbruck and Ljubljana), the defending champions can qualify as the seventh team for the playoffs on Tuesday.

Best attack against best defense The Styrians are also currently fully on track in second place. They are particularly powerful on defense: in six games in the Qualification Round, the 99ers only conceded eight goals, which is the best in the second round. Goalie Danny Sabourin celebrated his first shut-out in a 3-0 win against Innsbruck on Sunday. On Tuesday he will try to keep the best offensive in check, because no other team has scored more often in this championship phase than HCB (22 goals).

Bolzano is building on home strength

In addition to accuracy, the HCB cracks primarily rely on their home strength. The champions won the last four games in front of their home crowd. In addition, the 99ers have not yet won in Bolzano this season. The 99ers suffered their only defeat in the second round against HCB.

So there are many signs that speak for the South Tyroleans, even though they won't be competing with the best line-up. There is a question mark behind the appearances of the ailing John Lee and Roland Hofer, as well as those of Denny Deanesi and newcomer Michael Sullmann. On the other hand, another well-known player, David Rodman, is missing.
