In the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, a real highlight awaits ice hockey fans at Sky. The Dallas Stars with Austria’s legionnaire Michael Raffl receive the title candidate Edmonton Oilers in Texas.
Michael Raffl from Carinthia drew attention to himself on Saturday in the NHL as a preparer of two goals. The striker prepared the 4-1 home win of the Dallas Stars against the St. Louis Blues 2-0 and 3-1 in each case, the goal scorer against the Blues better placed in the Central Division was Roope Hintz.
Raffl holds after 16 matches with two hits and four assists. On the other side, Leon Draisaitl, last year’s league MVP, is waiting with a record 35 scorer points. Michael Raffl, who was born in Villach, is a clear underdog in this duel with Dallas, but wants to surprise with the help of the local fans at the American Airlines Center. Can Michael Raffl help his Dallas Stars win? The answer will be available live on Sky Sport 1 from 02:30 a.m.
