Recap
Ritten similar to the last matches is seriously depleted. They have a really short squad and are playing without Line 4 due to many absences. Coach Buam can’t count on Aleksi Makela (38/3), captain Simon Kostner (31/12), Manuel Öhler (24/7), Hannes Treibenreif (13/0), Ivo Prast (10/0), Hannes Uffelmann (5/0), Florian Plattner (4/0), Tobias Graf (3/0), and Leonhard Hasler (1/0). Kitzbühel showed on Saturday that they are a very serious opponent, winning another convincing victory (0:3), and are favorites to take the 3rd win in the playoffs.
