Failure threatens: Black Wings Linz-Crack injured-another struck!

The Black Wings Linz won their test game against HK Nitra 4-2 on Friday, but the Stahlstädter also had to complain about two injuries.

As the “Kronen Zeitung” reports, striker Stefan Gaffal, who only comes back from a serious injury, was injured after a hard check and threatens to be missing again for longer. Newcomer Ryan Mackinnon also got it at a gang check, he could continue, but was struck. For nitra player Kovac, who promoted Mackinnon to the gang from behind, it ended early after a playing time disciplinary penalty.
