Starkbaum signed a one-year contract with EHC Kloten back in June but has only appeared in nine games for the Swiss League team this season, posting a .892 save percentage.

The 32-year-old netminder thus returns to Austria after half a season with Kloten. He will join the Vienna Capitals for the rest of the season.
