The Eagles of Nice will host the Phoenix of Reims this Saturday, March 9 at 7:15 PM at the Jean Bouin ice rink, as part of the 25th day of the French D1 championship.
After the heavy defeat in Montpellier last week, the Eagles must absolutely bounce back this Saturday!
The Azureans still have the cards in their hands for playoff qualification, but they will need to be effective against the Phoenix. In the first leg, the Eagles lost the game with a score of 3-1. Last Saturday, the Reims team caused a surprise by losing the match against Amnéville in front of their home crowd.
They will undoubtedly want to make amends in Nice…
The Eagles will need maximum support from the public on Saturday to secure the 2 points from the victory.
This is the last home game of the regular season, and finishing the season in style is a must!
