The motto is to secure fourth place

Alexander Egger and Co. played four games in the 2017 calendar year. Four games in which just four goals and two points were scored. The White Reds' form curve is clearly pointing downwards now that the Erste Bank Eishockey Liga is entering the decisive phase of the season. After the playoff qualification has been confirmed, the air seems to be out at HCB. Now it's up to coach Tom Pokel to tighten the reins again and bring his team back to their old strength before the start of the second round.

The people of Bolzano have their first chance to turn the tide and at the same time get their first win of the new year on Wednesday in the home game against eighth-placed Orli Znojmo. In a direct season comparison with the Czechs, the Foxes are in the lead with two wins and one defeat, but so far the away team has always prevailed. This series also needs to be ended for the ailing HCB cracks in the upcoming home game. The game in the Eiswelle starts at 19.45:XNUMX p.m.

The 42nd matchday at a glance (Wednesday, December 11th): Innsbruck - Ljubljana (19.15 p.m.) Dornbirn - Fehervar (19.15 p.m.) Villach - Linz (19.15 p.m.) Graz - Salzburg (19.15 p.m.) Klagenfurt - Vienna (19.30 p.m.) Bolzano - Znojmo (19.45 p.m.)
