Bet-at-home ICE Hockey League | 12/26/2021 | Time schedule:
Sun, December 26th, 2021, 4.30 p.m .: EC-KAC – EC GRAND Immo VSV
Referees: PIRAGIC, TRILAR, Hribar, Zgonc. | >> LIVE ON PULS24.AT/EISHOCKEY <
The first round after Christmas brings a Carinthian derby. For the first time since 2013, the traditional local hit between the EC-KAC and EC GRAND Immo VSV, which has also been scheduled several times until the beginning of January, will be held on St. At the last derby on December 26th, Klagenfurt prevailed 3-2. The “red jackets” also won the first meeting of the season, mainly Villach on December 10th with 4-0. The reigning Derby champion has been on his own ice for 13 games without losing or losing points. The last VSV derby victory in Klagenfurt was on February 2, 2016 (5: 1). However, the current home record speaks little for the KAC, only one of the last five home games was won – especially Paul Postma and Nick Petersen, who returned after an injury break, did not come back enough. Matt Fraser, who earned 0.88 points per game result last year, has also been without a scorer point for five games. Villach takes on two narrow home defeats. The use of KAC veteran Thomas Koch is questionable.
Sun, December 26th, 2021, 5.30 p.m .: Steinbach Black Wings Linz – Moser Medical Graz99ers
Referee: OFNER, SCHAUER, Durmis, Kis-Kiraly. | >> PPV live stream <
The Steinbach Black Wings Linz achieved their first success after seven defeats in a row on Tuesday with a 4: 3 away win in Villach – and thus a first liberation. Nevertheless, the Upper Austrians, where Kristler and Brucker were still missing, are at the bottom of the table with an average of 0.897 points. The Moser Medical Graz99ers are next to table leaders EC Red Bull Salzburg the hottest team in the league and have been unbeaten in five games, celebrating their last four wins in a row also away from home. Above all, the Styrian team, where Mike Zalewski will make his comeback, but Clemens Krainz will be out with an upper body injury, are currently very strong: they only accept two goals per game during their streak, 3.24 last season. Neo-goalie Christian Engstrand is still unbeaten with Graz, holding after three games with a GAA of 1.67 and a save percentage of 94.1%.
Sun, December 26th, 2021, 5.30 p.m .: HC TESLA Orli Znojmo – Hydro Fehérvár AV19
Referees: FICHTNER, SOOS, Gatol, Muzsik. | >> PPV live stream <
Hydro Fehérvár AV19 makes a guest appearance at HC TESLA Orli Znojmo – and wants to win the second duel of the season (5: 1 on December 3rd) against the table tenth. The last large hospital of the third-place team from Hungary is thinning out more and more. Henrik Nilsson made a strong comeback after a two-month injury break with two assists in the 3-2 home win against Vienna. Against Znojmo, Fehérvár has to improve his outnumbered game (77.7%), which is not yet convincing this year, in order to be able to defy the best power play team in the league (27.5%). Fehérvár is currently unbeaten in five games against Znojmo.
Sun, December 26th, 2021, 5.30 p.m .: Dornbirn Bulldogs – HCB Südtirol Alperia
Referees: BERNEKER, HUBER, Martin, Rigoni. | >> PPV live stream <
The Dornbirn Bulldogs temporarily put an end to their negative trend and won the last two games. In the 5: 4 OT victory in Linz, the Suikkanen troop showed morale until the last second, in Innsbruck they performed 5: 1 with confidence. Nevertheless, they have been unsuccessful at home for eleven games. In home games against HCB Südtirol Alperia, victories alternated in the last ten games – this time it would be, law of the series, Dornbirn’s turn. So far this season there has been an away win for both teams. DEC striker Vladimir Ruzicka scored in both games against the “Füchse” – he has never managed that against any other team. Bolzano is still fifth in the table, but has only recently won one of the four players under Greg Ireland. On Tuesday, the HCB gave up a two-goal lead in the derby. Above all, the penalty killing hardly fits (73.7% | # 12). Six of their last eight goals conceded the “Füchse” in the minority.
Sun, December 26th, 2021, 5.30 p.m .: HC TIWAG Innsbruck – Die Haie – EC Red Bull Salzburg
Referees: NIKOLIC K., RUETZ, Mantovani, Sparer. | >> PPV live stream <
The bet-at-home ICE Hockey League table leader EC Red Bull Salzburg is a guest at HC TIWAG Innsbruck – Die Haie. This match day is the only duel between two teams from the top 6. The “Red Bull” have now established themselves at the top: THEY have won their last five games after regular time, scoring an average of five goals. The last game without a point was on November 2nd (1: 4 vs. HCB). Innsbruck has usually been good ground for the six-time champion: three of the last four games have been won, two of them with a six-goal advantage. Salzburg are also the best away team in the league, their last defeat on foreign ice was on October 26th in Znojmo (1: 3). Especially the line Raffl – Nissner – Schneider, on Tuesday three points against the EC-KACe each player, is currently unstoppable. Innsbruck only got one point out of the last nine possible (SO defeat @VSV) – but maybe the “Haie” will gain the necessary self-confidence in a duel with Znojmo on December 23rd to succeed against the leader.
Sun, December 26th, 2021, 6 p.m .: HC Pustertal Wölfe – HK SZ Olimpija
Referees: NIKOLIC M., VIRTA, Pardatscher, Weiss. | >> PPV live stream <
The last game of the round sees the second season duel between the two ICE newcomers. HK SZ Olimpija is traveling to HC Pustertal Wölfe for the first time in the Intercable Arena. The first duel in Slovenia was won by the “Drachen” 5: 3. The previous season of the two teams has been different: While Ljubljana is consistently in the top 3, the team from Bruneck found it difficult to get out of the starting blocks – but currently the tide has turned: The “Wolves” have won five of their last six games , turned the derby on Tuesday after two goals down. The Slovenes lost four of their last six league games but are still in second place.
