After the successful start to Win2day Ice Hockey League, the Steinbach Black Wings Linz follows the first away test on Sunday. In the magnificent MET Arena, the Stahlstädter Fehervar AV19 are calling for.
The start is done, the Steinbach Black Wings Linz continues after the deserved home win on Sunday with the first test stone abroad. For Brian Lebler and Co., the traditionally heavy walk is waiting for Székesfehérvár. The red devils invite you to the second matchday in the belly in the freshly started Win2day Ice Hockey League. While the Upper Austrians successfully celebrated their opening in Linz AG Eisarena, there was nothing to cheer for the head of Head Coach Dávid Kiss. At the KAC, the Hungarians set a clear 0: 4 – without points and without scoring. Accordingly, Janos Hari and his teammates are expected to make an improved appearance in their own met arena.
An exchange of blows with the Magyaren is always a hard piece of work for the Stahlstadt. From the past season, the Linzers have a negative balance in the direct duel and had to give up three of the four matches. A 4: 3 away win at the premiere in the magnificent, 6,000 visitor home was the only success of tomorrow’s guests. On the first reunion, there are four new imports compared to the 2024/25 season: Justin Richards, Drake Rymsha and Darren Archibald followed the call and moved from the DEL to the east. The local core around Csanád Erdély, István Bartalis and István Terbócs and the goalie duo is unchanged. With Rasmus Reijola and Dominik Horváth, the devils have one of the most constant teams in the league.
Loose room update
With Fehérvár AV19, an even harder task is waiting for the Pioneers with FeiRvár AV19 than in the 5-2 home win on Friday. In front of 4,300 visitors, the home side started brilliant and made the march route clear after just a few moments. Shawn ST-Amant and Brian Lebler each laced a double pack, and Travis Barron scored well in his debut and presented himself perfectly in his new home. Nevertheless, for Head Coach Philipp Lukas there were some aspects in the game that let room for improvement. After the 4-0 lead before the last 20 minutes, negligence crept into the execution of the home side, which finally resulted in a Shorthery of the Pioneers.
The guests came back to the match for a short time before the Stahlstädter put on the sack and secured the three points deserved. Jonathan Oschgan presented himself particularly positively in his debut in the domestic Bundesliga and noticed with a hard hit. This physique will be an important factor against the playfully strong Hungarians in the afternoon. Ryan Mackinnon has an additional failure with Ryan Mackinnon. The defense lawyer will not compete with the long journey due to the good family reasons.

Head Coach Philipp Lukas: “In phases we had good sequences, especially in the second third we were able to take control and enforce our game. Constance is something that I would have liked even more. We brought ourselves into problems unnecessarily because we lost the disc. We did not know that we will not be perfect, so we are very happy with the three points. The disc plays.
