HC SLOVAN Bratislava face Dinamo Moscow today at 16:30 CET, and have been boosted by the return of defenceman Martin Štajnoch.
Štajnoch, who last played in early December against CSKA Moscow will form part of the second defensive pairing alongside Michal Sersen. The third defensive pair will feature Andrej Sekera and Ján Tabaček, with Peter Trška. In attack, head coach Čada has been forced into making one change, as an injury to Andrej Šťastny means that Miroslav Preisinger is drafted into the lineup, making part of the fourth line with Ölvecký and Kudrna.
Roster:
Janus - Višňovský, Sigalet, Vondrka, Bližňák, Miklík - Sersen, Štajnoch, Hudáček, Lipiansky (C), Bartovič (A) - Sekera, Tabaček, Dravecký, Kytnár, Kukumberg (A) - Trška, Ölvecký, Preisinger Kudrna.
