EC Red Bull Salzburg: Strong performance against VSV gives Salzburg courage for the Bolzano match
The Eisbullen want to continue their winning streak in the Volksgarten against Bozen. Dominique Heinrich is injured again. Lukas Schreier returns to the Salzburg defense for this.
Even die-hard ice hockey players can eat three games within five days. After the successes on Friday (2: 1 after penalties against Pustertal) and on Sunday (5: 2 against VSV), EC Red Bull Salzburg will have the strenuous home series in the ICE Hockey League on Tuesday (7.15 p.m. / live on Puls24.at .)) finish with another victory.
The Eisbullen are competing against Bolzano for the third time this season. After two defeats, Salzburg were able to win the last duel (albeit only in extra time). Coach Matt McIlvane now knows the South Tyroleans inside and out. “They have a slightly different style of play than Villach. But the way in which we want to put pressure on them is similar to the style of play that we showed on Sunday,” explains the American.
Florian Baltram, who scored two goals against Villach, will also build on the performance against VSV. “We now want to continue in the same way and play dominant ice hockey with a straight line to the goal,” emphasized the 24-year-old.
On the staff front, the situation has not necessarily improved. In addition to goalie JP Lamoureux, Peter Hochkofler, Ali Wukovits and Lukas Thaler, Dominique Heinrich will also be missing again. The recently recovered defender had to be injured again from the ice against the VSV. At least Lukas Schreier will be back on the bull defensive against Bolzano.
There was no good news from Bratislava player Boris Sádecký, whose collapse on Friday led to the breakdown of the match against Dornbirn. According to a statement from his club, his condition is “stable but serious”.
