HCB Südtirol can rely on Sharp again

Eleven laps before the end of the regular round, the Foxes are under pressure. Especially away from home, the White-Reds want to score one or two important points in order to secure direct entry into the knockout round. This weekend the Pokel squad is heading east. On Saturday afternoon the Foxes will be on the ice against Orli Znojmo from 17.30:XNUMX p.m. The club from the Czech Republic is in sixth place in the rankings, just one point and one place behind Bolzano.

Egger & Co. would like to take revenge in the Dvo?ákova Arena for the 2:5 defeat from the first meeting at the home of Znojmos. Meanwhile, the Talferstadt team won the home game in Bolzano 3-2. In the first of eleven matches in the next three weeks, Coach Pokel can rely on MacGregor Sharp again. After an appendix operation, the Canadian attacker is back to full strength. But Pokel will have to do without strikers Rick Schofield and Angelo Esposito as well as defender Enrico Miglioranzi, who is still with the national team at the Universiade. Schofield is out with back problems, while Esposito is suffering from muscular problems. Znojmo recently lost against Linz and on Friday evening at home against Dornbirn with a clear score of 2:6

On Saturday it's against Fehervar

24 hours later, the Italian record champions are visiting Fehervar in Hungary, 316 kilometers away. Like Znojmo and Bolzano, the Hungarians are also fighting for one of the six tickets for direct playoff entry. Bolzano has already played against the Hungarian club three times, which is why this will be the last direct duel in the regular season. HCB Südtirol celebrated two wins (5:2 at home and 6:3 away), while Fehervar celebrated once in the ice wave (4:3).
