After the international break, the win2day ICE Hockey League resumes on Friday with six games in round 19. In the top game, league leaders HCB Südtirol Alperia, yet to drop a point at home, host champions Moser Medical Graz99ers. Olimpija Ljubljana face EC Red Bull Salzburg, where captain Thomas Raffl returns after six weeks out. The Vienna Capitals and HC TIWAG Innsbruck – Die Haie both want to end their losing streaks. Two more games follow on Saturday.
Bolzano host champions Graz looking for revenge after September comeback
HCB Südtirol Alperia have been the benchmark at the Sparkasse Arena: seven home games, seven wins, just ten goals against and three shutouts. The Foxes have picked up points in seven straight games and go into the weekend one point ahead of Ljubljana, with a game in hand. Graz arrive in form: Dan Lacroix's side took ten points from their last four games, most recently beating EC-KAC (3:1) and EC iDM Wärmepumpen VSV (4:1). The first meeting went to the 99ers: on 23 September in Graz they came back from two goals down late on and won 4:3 in overtime. Falling behind has rarely troubled the Foxes, though: they have won four of the five games in which they conceded first. Scorers on both sides are closing in on milestones. Manuel Ganahl is six goals away from 200 in the league. Bolzano's Brad McClure, the team's top scorer with twelve goals, needs three more for 100, and Graz's Chris Collins needs four.
Ljubljana host Salzburg as Raffl returns
Olimpija Ljubljana are the team of the moment. Five straight wins, most recently 6:3 in Brunico on Wednesday, have lifted them to second place. Joshua Lawrence leads the league in scoring with 14 goals and 23 points. Salzburg are the only team to have shut out Ljubljana this season: the Red Bulls won the first meeting 1:0 on 21 October. Since their coaching change on 19 October, Salzburg have won five of six games. Captain Thomas Raffl returns after six weeks out injured and is three goals away from 350 in the league. Michael Raffl (one goal from 100) and Mario Huber (two goals from 150) are also closing in on milestones.
Capitals look to end their skid against Linz
The Vienna Capitals lost their last five games before the break, most recently 3:4 in a shootout against Bolzano, and dropped to tenth place. Finishing was the problem: eight goals from 163 shots in those five games. Even so, the Viennese power play remains the best in the league at 34.8 percent. The Steinbach Black Wings Linz lost 2:7 in Klagenfurt before the break, having won ten of their previous twelve games. Linz won the first meeting 4:1 on 21 October. Brady Shaw shares the league scoring lead with Lawrence on 23 points. Linz captain Brian Lebler is four games away from 800 in the league, Emilio Romig two away from 400.
KAC host Innsbruck and their new coaching duo
EC-KAC have won twice around the break, most recently 3:0 in the 365th Carinthian derby in Villach. It was Florian Vorauer's first league shutout for the Red Jackets since March. Innsbruck lost seven straight games and then parted ways with head coach Ryan Kinasewich. Ville Kolppanen and Daniel Mitterdorfer are now in charge on an interim basis. The Tyroleans scored only eight goals in those seven games, and their power play is the league's weakest at 10.5 percent. The long-term record favours Klagenfurt: KAC have won 78 of 133 meetings, including the last three at home.
Pustertal in Feldkirch: a fresh start after the streak ends
HC Falkensteiner Pustertal won six straight games before Ljubljana beat the Wolves 6:3 on Wednesday. With 39 goals against, Pustertal have the best defence in the league. The Pioneers Vorarlberg are still looking for their first win after 18 games. In the first meeting they kept it close for a long time and only lost 1:3 to an empty-net goal. Aron Summer returns to the line-up.
Budapest host Fehérvár in the Hungarian derby
FTC-Telekom go into the season's second Hungarian derby on a three-game winning streak, two of those wins coming in overtime. Budapest won the first meeting 5:2 in Székesfehérvár on 2 October. Hydro Fehérvár AV19 lost 2:7 in Salzburg before the break. For Fehérvár, Janos Hari is eight goals away from 150 in the league and Csanad Erdely ten points away from 300.
Saturday: VSV vs. Milano, Ljubljana vs. Innsbruck
EC iDM Wärmepumpen VSV want to get back on track against Milano Hockey Club after three straight defeats. The Eagles won the first meeting 7:2 on 2 October. Milano have earned five of their seven wins on the road. Olimpija Ljubljana play their second home game of the weekend against HC TIWAG Innsbruck – Die Haie. The Slovenians won the first meeting 5:2 in Innsbruck on 18 October.
