The Vienna, Austria native posted five points (4g, 1a) over the weekend in Chicago, including his second hat-trick of the season in Friday's 6-4 win. Nödl leads the league in goals scored with 16 and leads the Stampede in scoring with 25 points (16g, 9a). You can see KDLT's story on Nödl today on their 6 and 10 PM newscasts.

Hartzell Hopes to Return to Bench Friday

Stampede head coach/GM Kevin Hartzell was released from the hospital on Thanksgiving and is in good spirits after breaking three ribs last Tuesday in practice. He has informed the team that he is getting around better, but has been told by doctors to stay off the ice for at least a month. His status for Friday's home game is still questionable, but he hopes to be behind the bench. It will be a game time decision. Hartzell did not travel with the team this past weekend in Chicago.
