Scott Kosmachuk's scoring streak continues after 3:6 in Villach on Tuesday. The Eisbullen rookie has scored in each of his seven hockey league games since moving to Salzburg. There was good news for Flo Baltram, who is still convalescing.

Prior to Tuesday's 3:6 loss to Villach, who were on a good run, the Ice Bulls had scored in ten games in a row, losing only in Ljubljana (1:2 on aggregate). Although the list of absentees has become longer and longer, especially in the forward line, the program ahead of Tuesday's Champions League second leg at Färjestad with Graz (Friday/H) and Linz (Sunday/A) appears to be even tougher.

Scott Kosmachuk can tackle the challenge with a strong scoring run: The newcomer has scored in each of his seven Ice Hockey League games so far and already has an impressive nine points - four goals and five assists.

Flo Baltram had a sense of achievement on his way to a comeback this week. The striker, who is recovering from ankle surgery in September, reported on his check-up with the specialist in Wels: "We can be satisfied with the status, everything is going according to plan." It could therefore also be possible for him to start team training in the middle of next week.

The 27-year-old, who is aiming for a comeback in January, has been back on the ice at the Red Bull Academy for several weeks now. Where the other long-term absentees are also rehabbing. "We spend most of the day there together," says Flo, who also watched the Bulls' Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday with Ali Wukovits, Peter Schneider and Niki Kraus.
