Villach and Bolzano could not have started the new season more differently. After the South Tyroleans already conceded four defeats in the Champions Hockey League, they also went off the ice twice as losers on the opening weekend of the win2day ICE Hockey League. VSV, on the other hand, were not in game action on Friday, but on Sunday head coach Rob Daum's team celebrated a 4:2 victory in Linz. The eagles now want to follow up on their home opener: of the last four games against Bolzano in Villach, the Carinthians won three. The Blue-Whites will still be missing Layne Viveiros and newcomer Kevin Hancock. The runners-up from South Tyrol conceded eight goals in their first two league games - more than any other team. The HCB squad should be complete, except for Kris Pietroniro, who is expected to have to rest on Tuesday.
