Czech netminder Miroslav Kopřiva will start in goal for HC SLOVAN in their opening game of the 2013 European Trophy against the UPC Vienna Capitals.
The line-up for today’s game which starts at 18:00 is almost identical to the one that beat Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod yesterday evening. Head coach Rostislav Čada has made a couple fo changes though, giving Kopřiva the start in goal in place of Jaroslav Janus, while Ivan Ďatelinka is moved up to the third defensive pairing, meaning Ján Brejčák will play as the seventh defenceman. Vladimír Mihálik misses the game.
Predicted line-up: Kopřiva (Janus) - Sersen, Škoula, Sigalet, Mojžíš, Ďatelinka, Štajnoch, Brejčák, Kolena - Bartovič, Bližňák, Netík, Vondrka, Ölvecký, Miklík, Daňo, Kukumberg, Hudáček, T. Mikúš, A. Šťastný, R. Mráz
