The Nice Hockey team is hosting the Neuilly Bisons this Saturday evening at the Jean Bouin ice rink. Facing struggling suburbanites (10th, 2 wins and 5 losses), the Eagles want to confirm their stunning overtime victory in Courbevoie. The goal is to return to the Top 4.
The Eagles returned from the Parisian suburbs with newfound confidence and a boosted morale. The 5-4 victory in overtime, their third away win in four games, needs to be confirmed with a strong performance at home.
Neuilly sur Marne, 10th in the standings, seems to be the ideal opponent to continue the current winning streak (2 consecutive victories in the championship). A month after the last championship game, they need to avenge the Bordeaux defeat of 3-1. For that, the Eagles can rely on Samuel Aquin, who is in top form with 2 goals and 7 assists since the start of the season. However, Martin Slovak will serve his second suspension match after his headbutt in the French Cup against Briançon.
“The match against Neuilly presents itself as exciting after great performances away. We are happy to return to home championship matches and will do everything to extend our winning streak!” declares Stan Sutor, Nice Hockey coach on the official website.
