Cracovia didn’t gain any points from their opening two road games, but they were a valuable experience that the team now brings home with them to face Red Bull Munich and Brynäs IF, the two teams they’ve already played, In particular, they gave Munich a good battle, coming to within one goal of them in the third period before allowing three late goals to lose 6-2.

“We know we can play against this team, so it’s good for our confidence, but we need to be patient, defend well and then see what we can do,” Cracovia’s French forward Teddy DaCosta said after that first game.

Conversely, Munich lead the group with 6 points, following the win over Cracovia and, more impressively, over IFK Helsinki 4-1. Now they head on the road but head coach Don Jackson is confident, stating: “We’re pretty healthy with a couple of exceptions. We’re going pretty good and we’ve had a good start for sure.”
