Ouch: Foxes lose at the bottom

Actually, the game in the Czech Republic could hardly have started better for the guests, because after just 2.04:19 minutes the HCB took the lead thanks to defender Charles Robin Gartner's very first goal of the season. So far he has shone as an excellent goal preparer and has already collected XNUMX assists. This time his hammer from the blue line gave Bolzano the lead.

The first third ended without any major highlights – apart from a fight between Mike Angelidis and Marek Biro.

2:0 became 2:4 Towards the middle of the second third things started to happen in quick succession: First Mike Halmo increased the score to 2-0 after a great solo, before the home team restored the tie thanks to a double strike from Tomas Plihal and Josef Zajic, which lasted until the second break.

Shortly after the restart, bottom team Znojmo surprisingly took the lead thanks to Petr Mrazek. The “Foxes”, who were actually favored, then became nervous and hardly managed any notable actions – not even in the power play.

Also ended series of 5 games with power play goal

Speaking of the power play: It wasn't just the collection of points that came to an end with the Znojmo match. In the last five games, HCB had always scored at least one power play goal, which they couldn't do this time. However, there was only one power play.

HCB coach Kai Suikkanen tried to avert the impending defeat and took a timeout in the penultimate minute of the game and then took goalkeeper Pekka Tuokkola off the ice. But instead of Bozen's equalizer, Colton Yellow Horn scored an empty net goal to make the final score 4-2.

On Saturday against leader Vienna Capitals

The unexpected defeat against the bottom of the table must now be digested as quickly as possible, because the next away match against leaders Vienna Capitals will take place tomorrow, Saturday. There the HCB actually wanted to take revenge for the narrow 2:3 defeat after a penalty shootout a week ago.
