Sun, 19.09.2021, 16:30: EC Red Bull Salzburg - HCB Südtirol Alperia
Referees: M. NIKOLIC, RUETZ, Bedynek, Nothegger

EC Red Bull Salzburg will play the first home game of the new season in the bet-at-home ICE Hockey League against HCB Südtirol Alperia on Sunday. Both teams celebrated full victories at the start of the season and also secured an early ticket to the last 16 in the Champions Hockey League. Bolzano won four of the last five direct duels, in the Eisarena Salzburg the Foxes were victorious the last three times. Dominique Heinrich could make his comeback for the hosts. However, defender Lukas Schreier is injured and therefore questionable for tomorrow.

Referees: PIRAGIC, STERNAT, Racicot, Seewald | >> Free Livestream on PULS 24 (available worldwide) <<

Both VSV and Linz were clearly defeated (both -4) at the start of the season. Villach now plays at home for the first time, where they won three of four games in the preseason. In the last four direct duels there were always home victories (2:2). The Upper Austrians' last win dates back to 6.12.2020, when Brian Lebler scored a hat-trick in a 4:1 victory.

ATTENTION: The match will not be broadcast on PULS 24's usual Sunday broadcast time at 16:30, BUT at 17:30.

Sun, 19.09.2021, 17:30: HC Orli Znojmo - spusu Vienna Capitals
Referees: HRONSKY, SMETANA, Durmis, Jedlicka | >> PPV-STREAM <<

The derby between Znojmo and Vienna is back! There were no points for either team in the season opener. While the league returnees put up a tough fight at the runners-up in Bolzano, the Caps - with a short lineup - were without a chance at the champions in Klagenfurt. The Czech side has always been among the Viennese's favourite opponents, winning nine of the last ten direct duels.

Sun, 19.09.2021, 18:00: HK SZ Olimpija - Moser Medical Graz99ers
Referees: TRILAR, ZRNIC, Hribar, Zgonc | >> PPV-STREAM <<

While HK SZ Olimpija let a two-goal lead slip away in Innsbruck on Friday, Moser Medical Graz99ers came back from 0:2 down at home against Dornbirn to at least earn a point. Now the Styrians are the first team to host their new league rivals in Ljubljana. Whether 99ers coach Jens Gustafsson will be able to rely on a broader line-up will only be decided tomorrow in final training. Mike Zalewski and Daniel Oberkofler are still questionable.
