That's awful about Benson.. Oil really need him to make the team as he's on a ELC and we need some depth.Edmonton Oilers prospect Cooper Marody is suspected to have a concussion after a check by Deven Sideroff in his first game in Austria. He already suffered a concussion last years that messed up his 2019-20 season.
Games scheduled today:
Bratislava vs Vienna
First game for both teams. Vienna has lost some depth, but their core is still decent and they should be in the mix for a spot in the top 5. Bratislava are the new and unknown team in the league.
Dornbirn vs Klagenfurt
KAC too lost some depth, but still has a good core. In their first game they looked like they're still in the offseason though. Dornbirn is lacking rhythm and system as they only recently added several players to their roster. A good chance for Klagenfurt to make up for the opening loss.
Linz vs Graz
Despite some financial worries, Linz looked really good against Klagenfurt, new coach Pierre Beaulieu seems to have his team set up well. Graz won a high-scoring game against a weak Fehervar roster, but lack balance: they have very good forward depth but little in defence. They will struggle to keep Linz (and many other teams) from scoring.
Villach vs Innsbruck
Despite adding more depth to an already decent roster, Villach weren't dialed in against Salzburg. New goaltender Tyler Beskorowany didn't look fit and will move to the bench. Innsbruck are cash-strapped and have one of the cheapest rosters, but got solid goaltending from Tom McCollum against Dornbirn.

I'm out of the loop.. why is Bratislava in the Austrian League?
Plus, the owner of Bratislava Capitals has business interests in Austria and wants to promote his company there.
On the Innsbruck side, disciplinary issues are a concern.
