Team captain and international Daniel Pietta and Krefeld's Hungarian top scorer Istvan Sofron will try to make the Penguins do what they forgot to do last year: score. Although playing really well in their first two (home) games they wasted their chances and ended up empty-handed. If that can be changed the youngsters from Krefeld may stand a chance against the very experienced and considerably older team from Finland, which reached the CHL semi-finals last time.
In the German DEL last year's Penguins only made it into the first play-off round, and the hungry younger team that they are this season will surely try to do better than that – why should they not begin doing so against Kärpät? Apart from defender Robin Weihager the players are fit and the spectators should see an interesting match.
