Overtime for the HCB: Salzburg and Ljubljana within 24 hours

The HC Bozen players don't have time to take a breather over Christmas, as the last two games of the year are scheduled for the next few days. After the two successful appearances in Znojmo and Fehervar, Alex Egger and Co. will play in their third away game in a row against Red Bull Salzburg. This is the meeting between the third and fourth in the table. Bozen is currently only two points behind leaders Linz in the rankings and is already ten points ahead of seventh-placed team. Participation in the playoffs therefore seems within reach. However, there is a lot of hard work waiting for the HCB cracks in Salzburg. In a direct comparison, the “Bulls” lead with 2-1 wins. Bolzano was successful in the first match in the Eiswelle with 4:3, but then lost in Salzburg with 2:5 and in the Eiswelle with 1:3. The Austrians recently gained a huge dose of self-confidence with a 2-1 win over the Capitals. The puck drop in the duel between Salzburg and Bozen takes place on St. Stephen's Day at 17.30:XNUMX p.m.

Just a few hours after the guest appearance in the city of Mozart, the HCB will take to the ice again in their home stadium when Olimpija Ljubljana visits on December 27th. The Slovenians are currently in last place in the table with 18 points, but due to the recent upward trend, the Innsbruck Haie (21 points) have moved within reach. Most recently, Olimpija won 4-1 against the Graz 99ers. Bolzano should be warned before the Green-Blacks' fourth game of the season against Laibach on Friday at 19.45:XNUMX p.m.

The Bolzano hospital is thinning out: only Angelo Esposito is questionable

With a view to the next championship games, coach Tom Pokel can take a deep breath. He was able to rely on almost all of the squad players during training on Tuesday. Joe Charelbois is available again and Rick Schofield also trained again. However, he will not play in Salzburg. Rok Pajic will take his place again. The only question that remains is the use of Angelo Esposito, who was unable to take part in the last practice session before Christmas.
