Red Bull Salzburg and Banská Bystrica clash at Eisarena Salzburg in the Feature Game on our social media channels.

It's an important match for both teams, as neither took points from their opening game. A win puts them back in contention to qualify, while a loss would leave them with a big task over the next four games.

We’ve had plenty of opportunities to observe the Slovaks and they’re obviously a very strong team," said Head Coach Greg Poss ahead of the game. "They are Slovak champions and the standards of ice hockey in Slovakia in general are high. Plus, several NHL players have emerged from there and from all over Slovakia in the past. Banská Bystrica is definitely an interesting opponent."

"EC Red Bull Salzburg is a high ranking Austrian ice hockey club with Europe’s most modern youth training centre," commented Head Coach Vladimír Országh. "In the past three years, the club won the Austrian championships twice. Their roster is full of current or former Austrian national team players and high quality foreign players."
