Red Bulls aim to secure CHL ticket in supplementary match against Olimpija LjubljanaLast Salzburg home game in the regular season// win2day ICE Hockey LeagueEC Red Bull Salzburg will play the supplementary game against Olimpija Ljubljana in the win2day ICE Hockey League tomorrow, Wednesday, at the Eisarena Salzburg (7:15 pm, Ladies Night, Student Hockey Night, livestream). In the penultimate game of the basic round, the Red Bulls can secure second place in the standings with a win in regular time, which would mean participation in the CHL 2025/26. At the same time, the Red Bulls would keep their chances at the top of the table, which is held by the KAC with a four-point lead over Salzburg.

Initial situation
It remains exciting until the very end. With tomorrow's home game against Ljubljana, the Red Bulls have completed all supplementary games resulting from this season's CHL games. And the 48th and final game on Friday in Székesfehérvár will decide the winner of the basic round, even if the leading KAC currently has a four-point cushion.
However, a 3-pointer against Olimpija Ljubljana is a prerequisite for this. The Red Bulls want to improve on their last home game two days ago against Asiago and above all make more of their own chances. The Slovenians are in 8th place in the table, have secured their pre-playoff qualification and can no longer move up the table. Nevertheless, they will try to make things difficult for the Red Bulls and make a statement ahead of the knockout phase.
5 vs. 5 decisive
The Slovenians, who are led onto the ice by 36-year-old veteran and captain Robert Sabolič, are one of the teams with the fewest penalty minutes over the entire basic round. With 131 2-minute penalties, they have also drawn the fewest minor penalties of any team, giving their opponents few powerplay opportunities. The Red Bulls are in 8th place in this ranking with 165 minor penalties so far. The goal is to take fewer penalties, as the Red Bulls only have the eleventh best penalty killing rate in the league at 74.5%. As the seventh best team, the Slovenians have survived 80% of all shorthanded games without conceding a goal.

Statement by Paul Stapelfeldt
“We want to set the tone for the playoffs. For us, that means maximum focus and maximum energy on the game and leaving everything on the court. It's about our process, that we do the things right that we need in the playoffs. Ljubljana comes a lot on the forecheck and they will certainly try to show their playoff field hockey. We're expecting a tough fight, but we want to get three points.”
