Vienna Capitals miss four regulars for Motor Cup opener

Vienna Capitals will be without four regular players for their pre-season games at the Energie AG Motor Cup in Budweis. Ramón Schnetzer (lower-body injury), Konstantin Komarek and Sebastian Wraneschitz (both precautionary, lower-body), and Dominic Hackl (minor procedure) are all out.

What it means

• Schnetzer will miss most of pre-season with a lower-body injury.
• Komarek and Wraneschitz are being rested as a precaution.
• Hackl had a minor procedure and may return next week in Klagenfurt.
• Three young players will join the pro team in Budweis.

Model read

The Capitals are notably weakened for these pre-season matches, missing four regulars, including a starting goaltender, which will force a backup and youth into action.
