The next “final game”: Zagreb plays in the Eiswelle

There are still six rounds left in the basic round of the EBEL. The HCB is in 48th place with 10 points and is seven points behind Zagreb , which currently occupies the coveted sixth place. If the HCB wants to maintain its mini-chance for the top 6, which entitles it to direct play-off participation, then a home win on Friday against Zagreb is mandatory. Otherwise there is a risk of the arduous path of the qualification round, where you have to fight for the two remaining play-off tickets.

The HCB has to be particularly careful against Tyler Morley against Zagreb: in 37 games, the Canadian has collected 54 points (21 goals and 33 assists) and is the best scorer in the entire league. But Bozen's offensive department around Mike Halmo and Chris DeSousa doesn't have to hide with their current form either.

Vienna is coming on Sunday The spectacular ice hockey weekend in the Eiswelle is rounded off with the duel against Vienna on Sunday. This game is also extremely important in the fight for valuable positions in the table. As is well known, the grapes hang extremely high against the sovereign front runner.

For these two games, HCB coach Kai Suikkanen will certainly not be able to count on the injured Markus Gander and Mat Clark; there is still a question mark over the use of Michele Marchetti due to his muscular problems; it is unlikely (but not impossible) that Austin Smith will be used .
