Tue, January 18, 2022, 7:15 p.m.: Steinbach Black Wings Linz – EC Red Bull Salzburg
Referees: OFNER, STERNAT, Nothegger, Seewald. | >> PPV live stream <
The duel between Steinbach Black Wings Linz and EC Red Bull Salzburg (additional game on January 6th) is between the bottom of the table and the top of the table. As the leader, Salzburg (34 games) has scored 1,153 more points per game than Linz (33). The “Red Bulls” have always scored in the last 17 consecutive games, but gave up their winning streak on Sunday in the 2-3 home defeat after extra time against Graz. For the first time this season, Salzburg finally had to admit defeat after a 20-minute lead.
Thomas Raffl should be back in the line-up with the leader. Tolvanen, Schreier, Loney, Wukovits, Järvinen and Thaler will be absent. While Salzburg recently lost a two-goal lead, Linz turned a two-goal deficit. The Upper Austrians won 3:2 against Innsbruck – thanks to Brian Lebler: The 33-year-old scored the decisive brace in the final and thus took the top spot in the goal scoring list. With an upright goal-scoring streak over three games, he now has 22 goals this season. Salzburg’s Peter Schneider is in second place with 20 goals. The two previous duels of the season went to the “Red Bulls”, who are unbeaten in Linz for six games. The Upper Austrians have been without a goal in home games against Salzburg for 138 minutes and 37 seconds.
Tue, January 18, 2022, 7:15 p.m.: spusu Vienna Capitals – EC-KAC
Referees: HRONSKY, SIEGEL, Durmis, Riecken. | >> PPV live stream <
The second Tuesday game (supplementary game of the 18th round) has a trend-setting character: Both the spusu Vienna Capitals and EC-KAC hold 56 points (1,647 on average) after 34 games each and are fifth in the table (KAC) and six. For both teams it’s about collecting important points with a win in the fight for the top 6 and thus for the early playoff qualification. Klagenfurt is returning to championship operations twelve days after its forced break, but still has to do without convalescents Nick Petersen, Thomas Koch, Dennis Sticha, Johannes Bischofberger, Jakob Holzer and Daniel Obersteiner. During this time, Vienna played two home games, defeated Graz (1:0) and lost to Bozen (1:2 OT). The last three home games against the reigning champion ended for Vienna without a win.
The last home win dates from February 29, 2020 (2-1) after extra time. Conversely, the “Red Jackets” have taken at least one point in the last seven consecutive games in the STEFFL Arena. Klagenfurt is also very strong away from home this season: since the 0-1 draw at runners-up HCB Südtirol on October 31st, at least one point has gone to the red-white account in each of the eight away games played. Both teams play an efficient penalty kill this season (KAC | 85.2% and VIC | 83.6%). The “Red Jackets” have won 75 of 141 games against each other so far.
