Sunday's highlight: Red Bulls in derby with the Black Wings Linz Oliver David: “They play hard and have the biggest team in the league” // win2day ICE Hockey League From one top game to the next: EC Red Bull Salzburg plays an away game against Steinbach Black Wings Linz in the win2day ICE Hockey League tomorrow, Sunday (17:30, livestream).
Just yesterday, the Red Bulls won at home against the Graz99ers, who have been very strong this year, by a narrow margin in overtime, before facing their next ambitious league opponent in Linz tomorrow. The second leg of the CHL quarter-final against Färjestad Karlstad in Sweden next Tuesday should and must not play a role in the preparation.

Statement Oliver David
Starting position “We have to travel to Linz as rested and healthy as possible and full of energy.” Salzburg's Head Coach Oliver David knows what awaits the Red Bulls in Linz. And indeed: The Upper Austrians have played an impressive series in recent weeks. In the last 13 games, they have only suffered one defeat, and that was the 2:5 in Salzburg on December 1st. As a result, the Black Wings have worked their way up to third place in the table, just four points behind leaders Székesfehérvár and Bolzano, who are tied on points.
However, the fourth-placed Red Bulls are happy to accept the challenge, as they have also kept the level very high in recent weeks despite some injury worries - at least defenceman Dennis Robertson is back after serving his two-game suspension. After Tuesday's 6-3 loss in Villach, they bounced right back yesterday against the Graz99ers, forcing a 3-2 OT win against a team loaded with league stars.
Men to watch Brian Lebler is and remains the absolute top scorer for the Linzers. The 36-year-old Austro-Canadian now has 17 goals in 26 games, making him the league leader. The Linz captain also scored twice on the power play in the last defeat in Salzburg.
Scott Kosmachuk is the Red Bulls' hottest commodity at the moment. The 30-year-old Canadian made his debut with the Red Bulls on November 22nd in Székesfehérvár and has scored 5 goals - including the decisive one in overtime yesterday - and 7 assists in 8 games so far. On Tuesday in Villach, the goalgetter even scored a brace for his former employer.

Statement Oliver David
“Every game we played against the Black Wings Linz was difficult. Whether it was in the playoffs last season or the first home game this season that didn't feel like a 5-2. Linz is even more difficult. They play hard and it seems to me that they are the biggest team. It's definitely a big challenge again.”
