• EC Red Bull Salzburg (5.) vs. KHL Medvescak Zagreb (12.) is the meeting of the fairest Erste Bank Eishockey Liga teams: The Croatians have collected fewest PIM (368) so far, the Mozart Citizens second fewest PIM (385).
• The two teams have shown different faces lately: While EC Red Bull Salzburg has won three consecutive matches, allowing just three goals in total, the Bears have been defeated in 23 straight games (negativ-record).
• EC Red Bull Salzburg has been successful in three straight contests with KHL Medvescak Zagreb. Thomas Raffl and Company have won in Croatia just six days ago - 7:0.
• EC Red Bull Salzburg would move up to place 4 in the Erste Bank Eishockey Liga ranking, if earning three points in their home-game against the Bears on Tuesday. The Mozart Citizens have already successfully qualified for the Pick Round and Playoffs 2019. The Austrians would start the Pick Round with zero bonus-points, when finishing part 1 of the regular season after 44 rounds on place 5. But, they would earn one bonus-point, when finishing fourth and even two bonus-points, when finishing on place 3. On the other hand, the Croatians will continue the Championship in the Qualification Round after 44 rounds for the first time in their club-history in February.
• KHL Medvescak Zagreb‘s defense will be required in Salzburg on Tuesday. The Red Bulls have potted most goals in this season so far (163), while the Bears have allowed most goals (227) and netted fewest goals (74).
