After last week’s victory against Mulhouse, the Eagles are moving on to face Montpellier. The Niçois must confirm their leading position by not falling to the dangerous Montpellier Vipers.
With only three matches before the start of the play-offs, the Eagles are not far from achieving a perfect record in this second half of the season. After last weekend’s success at Jean Bouin against Mulhouse (4 – 3), the Niçois are heading to Montpellier’s rink (6th). A victory over the Vipers would allow the Azuréens to confirm their status as leaders of D1. They would then clinch their 11th consecutive victory. But be cautious not to assume victory! Mulhouse stumbled on the Montpellier ice a few weeks ago!
