HCB: Now Dornbirn should also have to believe in it

The 4-3 win against the Mozartstadters was narrow, but all in all the Foxes delivered one of the best performances of the season on Wednesday evening. A fact that should inspire coach Kai Suikkanen's team. The upward trend should be confirmed against Dornbirn on Friday evening in the Bolzano ice wave - especially since the HCB is finally no longer last after the win against Salzburg.

Gander is missing injured

Suikkanen has to do without attacker Markus Gander. He got the puck in the face in the final seconds against Salzburg and suffered a fractured lower jaw. This means that Sterzinger will be out for at least a month. Pekka Tuokkola will be in goal again against Dornbirn. The wandering bird seems to have found its place in Bolzano and is ahead of Matt Climie, who is fit again.

Positive balance against Dornbirn

The HCB has a positive record against the Dornbirn Bulldogs in the current season. The Bolzano team have won two of their three games so far. Most recently there was a 3-2 win after extra time on St. Stephen's Day. The HCB also meets Ziga Pance against Dornbirn. The Slovenian has good memories of the South Tyrolean capital, after all he scored the decisive goal in the 2013 final against Salzburg and thus brought the EBEL title to Bozen. Pance has scored 12 times for Dornbirn so far this year. But he is not their best goalscorer. This is Matthew Fraser, who has scored 20 goals so far.
