“We are in communication with Šimon. He’s looking very good, he’s ready to come and New Jersey has already said they’re going to let him go. It’s just a question of administration, we already have a flight ready for him for tonight in our time, so we expect him to arrive tomorrow.”

The New Jersey Devils were eliminated just this night, and Tomáš Tatar is also free. “That’s a bit more sensitive topic. We are in contact and we are interested in him strengthening us, but I will not tell you anything more now.” said Peter Frühauf.

There should be no changes in the build. “No complications. There are some sores, but they will still be there. The guys are in a good mood and ready to fight for their first victory.”

However, Peter Frühauf did not want to reveal who will be catching. We will find out a few hours before the match, when they will publish the official line-up. “The goalkeeper will be. He will be from the extra league, I don’t want to reveal yet,” added a good-humored Peter Frühauf. The team includes three goalkeepers from the extra league – Samuel Hlavaj, Dominik Riečický and Stanislav Škorvánek.
