Rouen welcomes Nice on Tuesday 6 December 2022 at Île Lacroix. The Dragons, dolphins of the leaders Grenoble, intend to continue riding the wave of success to regain the lead in the championship.
Beginning of the second part of the championship, return of Pintaric in the cage, renewed organic defense… The beginning of the return phase of the Synerglace league Magnus arrives with his share of nice surprises.
Holder against Nice on Sunday on the French Riviera, Matija Pintaric returned to the net brilliantly. Arrested at the end of September for a shoulder injury, the Slovenian goalkeeper rediscovers the flavor of the games, after more than two months of break.
Also in defense there is something new. Deprived of Ulysse Tournier, a participant in the U20 World Cup in Scandinavia and Enzo Cantagallo, who injured his shoulder on Friday against Amiens, the coach Fabrice Lhenry enlists the young Deberge and Alzon, already broken at the level of Magnus .
Finally, the workforce will also turn to 11 forwards instead of 12, Kylian Leborgne will be kept in the France squad for the U20 World Cup.
Recovery of 1st place
Nothing bad for Fabrice Lhenry, who has been used since the beginning of the season to compensate for the absence of the other with the young shoots of the training center who, until now, have shown a lot of good sense of adaptation.
Suffice it to say that there is no need to panic against Nice on Tuesday evening, given that on Sunday the Dragons defeated the Eagles on their ice rink (5-2) in the same configuration.
But Pintaric’s return to the Rouen cage doesn’t mean defensive relaxation.
Facing eye-catching Nice and determined to anchor themselves in the top 8 synonymous with the play-offs, the Rouennais will need to secure the three points to stay one step behind current league leaders Grenoble.
A first place that could very well be contested on 8 December, in Isère, during the match between the two teams…
