The Wolves will have to do without forward JC Lipon – and thus a key player – in their match against Innsbruck. The Canadian was automatically suspended for one game by the ICE Hockey League because he received a game misconduct penalty for a fight with Christoph Kromp in the closing stages of Sunday's game against the Vienna Capitals.

For Lipon, this was his second game-long suspension this season, meaning he will automatically be sitting out one match. HC Pustertal will face the North Tyrolean team away on December 26th at 5:30 PM. The 32-year-old has amassed 19 points (4 goals and 15 assists) for the Wolves so far this season.
