Serie A: Ritten meets the “bestia nera”

Just in time for the finale of the “Regular Season”, HC Pustertal has reduced its gap to league leaders Ritten to three points - should the Buam win this Friday evening, the Wolves' brilliant final comeback will ultimately have been for nothing. Otherwise, if Ritten loses three game days before the end, the race for first place could be injected with the tension effect that was no longer considered possible. In terms of the table, the Rittner Buam are going into the race against Fassa on Friday evening as big favorites, even if the duels of the season so far show that the Falcons are one of the Rittner's less popular opponents. Borgatello & Co. often faced difficulties against the Trentino team, for example in the very first encounter of the new season, when Fassa stole three points from the Rittner Arena, or in the last two duels, in which Ritten and Fassa had an untypical ice hockey game We had the upper hand 2-1 after extra time.

Everyone will be back in action on Saturday As a result, Ritten will probably have to do everything in its power to keep the points in the home game against Trentino in its own stadium and to repel HC Pustertal's approach. On Saturday the Wolves face a manageable task against Valpellice, which has caught up with Val Gardena in the table despite the numerous problems off the ice. Ritten, on the other hand, plays at bottom team Cortina. HC Gherdeina, on the other hand, welcomes Asiago on Saturday evening: The old champions from Veneto were unable to take advantage of Vipiteno's slip-up against Val Gardena on Thursday, also had to admit defeat to HC Pustertal after extra time and are therefore still five points behind their targeted third place in the table. The Broncos want to defend this in the away game against Fassa.
