HC Gröden and its zero-goal problem

For HC Gröden, the guest appearance in Lustenau is undoubtedly groundbreaking. On the one hand, because the Vorarlbergers are in the same table region with six points, and on the other hand, because after the change of coach, something countable is now essential. Patrice Lefebvre celebrated a victory on his debut, but the consistency of results he had hoped for has not yet materialized.

38 power play minutes and no goals

In particular, the power play yield remained disastrous even under the new coach. In a total of 38 minutes of play, the Furies never once managed to push the puck over the line. However, when they were outnumbered, they were successful twice in nine league games. This weakness must be remedied urgently, otherwise there is a risk of losing contact with the middle of the table. Two factors speak at least in favor of the HCG on Tuesday: Lustenau has not yet won a home game this season, while Eastman & Co. scored 18 of their 21 goals this season on foreign ice.

Ritten is hoping for help from Bruneck When the AHL game day continues on Wednesday, the main focus will be on the long-distance duel for the league lead between Ritten and Asiago. Both could replace the current leader Jesenice with a win. The Buam will welcome tenth-placed Fassa at 20 p.m. and at the same time have one eye on Bruneck's Rienzstadion, where Asiago is playing at the HCP. The Wolves will try to confirm the recent upward trend against the runner-up and take another step out of the crisis with their second win in a row.

The first puck drop will also take place in the Neumarkt Würtarena on Wednesday at 20 p.m. There the HCN, still without a win, is chasing the long-awaited sense of achievement against EC Bregenzerwald.

Upcoming AHL matchups:

Lustenau - Val Gardena (Tuesday, 19.30 p.m.) Red Bull Juniors - Cortina (Wednesday, 19.15 p.m.) Kitzbühel - Zell am See (Wednesday, 19.30 p.m.) Pustertal - Asiago (Wednesday, 20 p.m.) Ritten - Fassa (Wednesday, 20 p.m.) Neumarkt - Bregenzerwald (Wednesday, 20 p.m.)
