The EC Red Bull Salzburg is expecting the Pinguins Bremerhaven in the Eisarena Salzburg (5:30 p.m., ORF Sport+) in the second game of the regular season in the second game of the regular season.
The club from northern Germany yesterday did a victory to overtime for the reigning Champion ZSC Lions at the start of the premier class in Zurich. The Red Bulls also made a good Chl start with a home win against GKS Tychy.
Starting position
In the second Chl game of the new season, two round winners meet with Salzburg and Bremerhaven. Both teams can go into the encounter with self-confidence, because yesterday the Red Bulls clearly dominated the Polish champions GKS Tychy for two thirds and, with a better exploitation of opportunities, could have been able to provide clear conditions on the scoreboard-the crucial goal for the 2-1 lead was only in the final minute-so the Fischtown Penguins in Zurich in the final third and a 1: 2 retirement and got the extra point in the extension at the reigning Chl and Swiss champion (!).
Bremerhaven with diversity in the team
The penguins team squad is made up of players from eight nations. Seven players were naturalized and thus have a German dual state office. The DEL main round last season relies on the experience of three Slovenian veterans, which at the time already showed in Win2day Ice Hockey League; Jan Urbas, Ziga Jeglic and Miha Verlic are between 34 and 37 years old and are among the top scorers in Bremerhaven. A feature that also applies to Salzburg. The top line with T. Raffl-Nissner-Schneider weighs a lot of experience and also scored all three goals yesterday. The young academy players Mathias Böhm, Florian Lanzinger and Maximilian Wurzer also left a good impression, who bravely played and jumped into the breach for several injured players; Ali Wukovits, Vadim Schreiner, Peter Hochkofler, Troy Bourke and Mario Huber will not be available to the team for a long time.
