Another failure at Red Bull Salzburg! – Hockey-News.info
Tomorrow, Tuesday, the EC Red Bull Salzburg will conclude the current mini home game series with the third game within five days in the Salzburg ice arena. The guests are HCB Südtirol Alperia (7.15 p.m., Red Bulls Livestream) and, as in the last two games against Pustertal and Villach, the Red Bulls also want to win against Bolzano.
When HCB Südtirol visits Salzburg on Tuesday, it will be the fourth meeting of the two teams this season. Across all competitions in the ICE Hockey League and Champions Hockey League, the Red Bulls lost twice and prevailed once – on October 12th in Bolzano. Especially after the last (CHL) victory in Bolzano, in which the Salzburg team competed with a very young team and won in extensions, they now want to win at home and balance the ongoing head-to-head duel with the South Tyroleans.
That BECOMES a difficult task again, because the South Tyroleans have recently proven their class again and won the last three games. On Friday they beat second Hydro Fehérvár AV19 (3: 2) and only yesterday the reigning champions KAC (1: 0). In the table, the South Tyroleans hold fifth place only three points behind the fourth-placed Salzburgers, who have already played two more games. With a win, the Red Bulls Bolzano could also keep away a little more from the league’s top trio with Ljubljana, Székesfehérvár and Innsbruck.
Head coach Matt McIlvane now knows the South Tyroleans inside and out and would like to see his team again like yesterday against Villach, even though “Bolzano has a slightly different style of play than Villach. But the way we want to put pressure on the opponent is similar to the way we played yesterday. “
Florian Baltram, who scored his first two goals of the season yesterday, hits the mark: “We now want to continue in the same way and play dominant ice hockey with a straight line to the goal. And then we hope that the disc will jump in again against Bolzano. “
The Red Bulls squad is unchanged quickly. The convalescent JP Lamoureux, Lukas Schreier, Peter Hochkofler, Ali Wukovits and Lucas Thaler and the ailing Dominique Heinrich are missing.
The game will be broadcast on the Red Bulls’ free live stream as well as on Puls24.at, once again Salzburg’s former and long-time captain Matthias Trattnig, who also answers questions from viewers on Facebook during the game, as co-commentator. The game starts at 19:15.
