The Red Bull Hockey Juniors are aiming for their fifth success from the past five games. In addition, the Wipptal Broncos Weihenstephan can already get the tenth consecutive AHL victory against the SHC Fassa Falcons. The last and so far only victory of the "Falcons" is already more than five years ago and dates back to November 16th, 2016.
