Foxes want to pass on the red lantern

Last weekend, HC Bozen achieved two victories within 24 hours in Fehervar and Zagreb. It was the second time this season that the Foxes were able to celebrate two away wins en suite. Things should now continue in this vein - albeit with Austin Smith, Anton Bernard, Mat Clark, Chris Carlisle, Matt Climie and because of that Zagreb incidents Chris DeSousa, who was initially suspended for an indefinite period of time, is once again unable to perform. The South Tyroleans are likely to be helped by the fact that Fehervar had to demand everything for 65 minutes in the away game in Innsbruck just last night. In the end, the blue and whites lost in the penalty shootout.

Foxes will no longer be last if they win

For its part, the HCB has re-established contact with its neighbors in the table with its two most recent successes in Eastern Europe. With another full point win they would hand over the red lantern to Villach and move within one point of third-from-bottom Hungary. However, people in Bolzano's Galvani Street are aware that the duel with Fehervar is by no means a sure-fire success. “We had a hard time getting going in the last game in Hungary, we analyzed that. As the game went on, we got stronger and stronger and played very well, especially when we were outnumbered. I hope we can build on the positive things,” explains coach Kai Suikkanen.

This evening from 19.45 p.m. it will be seen whether his protégés will continue their race to catch up. Then the first puck throw-in takes place in the ice wave.
