The Ice Bulls are shining despite their absence: With five wins in six games, the form curve is top. After the 4:1 in Graz, the classic against KAC awaits on Friday before the international break approaches.

Five wins in the last six ice hockey league games: The Eisbullen know how to hold their own despite a long list of absentees. This was also the case recently in the 4:1 win in Graz. Now the eternal battle against KAC awaits on Friday at home, followed by a quartet of games until the international break. Helmut Schlögl hopes that injured Bulls or those who currently have to play with injuries will get a breather. "There was a discussion with team boss Bader last week," says the Salzburg manager, who believes only one five will be fully fit for the Oslo tournament (February 7-8). Namely Nissner, Huber, Stapelfeldt and, for the first time, Kickert and neo-Austrian Tolvanen, both Bulls goalies.

A comeback at the staggering sister club Munich: Don Jackson (68), who won four DEL titles with Bayern alone and has been responsible for coach training since 2023, returns to the coaching bench after Kaltenhauser's departure.

The one in Jesenice is familiar to Zell coach Marcel Rodman today at the Alps League top game in his old home with EKZ.
