Then the referee team led by Christian Ofner was late due to the snow chaos, so the game in the Intercable Arena didn't start until 20.15:3 p.m. In the end, the HCP won against champions Salzburg 2-XNUMX and gained self-confidence for the pre-playoffs.

Meanwhile, the selection was made for the pre-playoffs. Initially, Innsbruck was allowed to finish 7th in the table. ran because of that canceled home game against Asiago was scored 5-0 in favor of the North Tyroleans. As expected, the sharks then picked the Pioneers Vorarlberg. HC Pustertal, on the other hand, meets Olimpija Ljubljana in the best-of-3 mode. The first game against the Slovenians will take place on Sunday evening (18 p.m.) in Bruneck.

Consequently, the Wolves took the lead in the 16th minute. After a nice pass from Frycklund, Hannoun makes it 1-0. Dream goals First, Huber equalized for Salzburg in the second third. 10 minutes later Atwal puts the HCP back in front. Both are dream shots that land in the top corner.
