Playoffs in sight: Bolzano travels to the record champion duel

The HCB currently leads the qualification round rankings with a three-point lead over the Graz 99ers, who have played one more game. The KAC follows in third place, five points behind. A win on Friday in the Klagenfurt exhibition hall and another full point win two days later on home ice would probably give Bozen a top 2 place and thus qualification for the playoff quarter-finals. Defender Alex Egger is also aware of this: “In Graz we achieved an important victory with a view to qualifying for the playoffs, but things are far from over. I have to carry the momentum into the next, very tough games.”

“Take the momentum with you”

Stefan Zisser agreed with his captain after the 3-2 win at the 99ers: “We will work hard to get every point. The KAC has a top team, but we are traveling to Carinthia without fear.” The HCB cracks can play freely in the two meetings with Klagenfurt anyway, because after four wins in a row they have now passed the puck to the 2013 champions, who urgently must score points in order to avert the early end of the season.

Only Paul Zanette is missing

HCB coach Don MacAdam is spoiled for choice in the double record championship duel. With the exception of the injured Paul Zanette, all players are available to him. Denny Deanesi is also expected to be part of the squad again.

The first of the two clashes will take place this evening at 19.15 p.m. The return match, however, is scheduled for Sunday in the Eiswelle. The game starts at 17.45:XNUMX p.m.
