HC Bozen: Two days that are tough

HC Bozen is about to begin what could be a trend-setting series of competitive games: in the home games against Linz and Vienna, as well as on Sunday away against surprise team and feared opponent Dornbirn, they absolutely have to achieve something countable in order not to fall behind in the fight for direct playoff qualification.

It starts tonight against the Black Wings from Linz. “On Sunday we showed what we were made of and achieved a big win against Salzburg. We're not going to worry about Linz, we have to concentrate on ourselves, play to our strengths and force our game on them," he said at the moment injured Brodie Reid . However, what the league leaders from Upper Austria can show is worthy of all honor: On the one hand, the Black Wings have league top scorer Andrew Kozek (17 goals). On the other hand, they have by far the safest defense in the league (48 goals conceded) in the entire EBEL, which is primarily due to goalie Michael Ouzas, who has a top catch rate of 94,5%.

Six-point game against the Caps

Bozen, on the other hand, relies primarily on the in-form Joel Broda and his team's top scorer Tayler Vause, who scored the Foxes to victory against Salzburg on Sunday. These two cracks should once again act as the driving force in the HCB game just 24 hours after the Linz game. Then the showdown with the table neighbor from Vienna is on the agenda. This improved on Tuesday with a home win against Ljubljana and pushed Bozen to seventh place in the ranking. Currently, only one point separates the two teams. There is definitely excitement. And if the Foxes play like they did against Salzburg, then the Bolzano crowd can expect ice hockey at its finest on both days.

The 24th matchday: Klagenfurt - Znojmo 1:6 (held on Tuesday) Vienna - Ljubljana 2-0 (held on Tuesday) Villach - Graz 3-0 (held on Tuesday) Salzburg - Dornbirn 4:3 aet (held on Tuesday) Innsbruck - Fehervar (Thursday, 19.15 p.m.) Bolzano - Linz (Thursday, 19.45 p.m.)
