>>The sixth round will be closed with the Tyrolean Derby HC TWK Innsbruck „Die Haie“ vs. Champion HCB Südtirol Alperia on Tuesday. The two clubs will be in a fight for points for the 25th time in Erste Bank Eishockey Liga history. Bozen has earned 17 wins so far, Innsbruck has been successful seven times.
>>But, watch out: The Austrians have won five straight home-games against the Italians. The Foxes got their last win in Innsbruck on January 5th 2016 or 1000 days ago...
>>Each team was forced to go to Overtime lately: Tyler Spurgeon and Co. had to play more then 60 minutes in their last two matches, earning their first season-win against EC Red Bull Salzburg (6:5/OT) at home on Tuesday. The „Foxes“ had to go to Overtime in their last two road-games (one win) as well. But, the Italians have been defeated in their last game (2:3/SO) in Villach on Friday.
>>The two clubs have shown different faces so far: The North Tyroleans were on fire lately, netting ten goals out of the last two rounds (one win). But, the Austrians have also allowed most goals so far (28). Bozen has potted just 13 goals out of five games (three wins) so far, but has allowed only twelve goals during that span. Lately, the Italians have been defeated in two consecutive games, scoring just two goals per game, while allowing seven goals.
>>Goalie Janne Juvanen (FIN) is ready for his debut for HC TWK Innsbruck „Die Haie“.
Quotes:
Rob Pallin, Headcoach HC TWK Innsbruck „Die Haie“: „Our team has power and talent. But, we have seen in the last games, that it needs hart work to get wins as well. Bozen has a compact team with good players. We have to show our best performance to get the three points.“
Michael Blunden, player of HCB Südtirol Alperia, knows: „We must play full 60 minutes and we have to produce more traffic infront of the opponents net.“
