New signing Martin Stajnoch wears the Eisbullen jersey for the first time since February 2019. The meeting in Brunico is the prelude to the latecomer triple.
The Eisbullen got five out of a possible nine points from their last three ice hockey league games. The opponents came from the zone of the top six candidates. Now there is a game triple pack against stragglers: Pustertal on Sunday (18) and Laibach (Tuesday) are waiting away and on Friday comes Vorarlberg, who is currently at the bottom. “Pustertal always plays really well at home. They’re fighting for a play-off place, so they’ll throw everything in for it,” said Peter Schneider before the South Tyrol guest game. The Salzburg top scorer (31 points) has been waiting for his 100th league goal for five games. Salzburg returnee Martin Stajnoch has twelve to his credit. The defender is looking forward to his comeback and trained with the team for the first time on Friday. “It was a tough shift, but it’s also nice to be back on the ice with the team,” emphasized the 32-year-old Slovakian, who played his last game with the Bulls in early February 2019. Striker Loney, meanwhile, is in front of his sixth game of the season after a long period of suffering. Strong: The US boy has scored every game so far and was beaming at the end: “Waking up in the morning and feeling good is wonderful.” In addition to Bourke, Heinrich, Hochkofler and Meyer, Predan, who is ill again, is missing.
