The Jean Bouin ice rink will experience a taste of playdown during the Nice-Strasbourg match.
Will the people of Nice be able to add a fifteenth victory (currently: 14w-29l) to a rather meager record?
Indeed, this fixture will be repeated on Friday, March 3rd, and the points earned will count towards the future standings of the Relegation Pool.
Who among the Eagles or the Black Star will make a good move to secure their place in the elite?
The Relegation Pool will take place from February 28th to March 21st between the teams ranked 9th to 12th at the end of the regular season of the Saxoprint Ligue Magnus, which includes Strasbourg, Chamonix-Morzine, Nice, and Dijon.
Retaining the results achieved among themselves during the regular phase, these four clubs will compete in a single round-robin format. The team ranked last at the end of this Relegation Pool will be relegated to Division 1.
