HC Bozen - Ritten Sport Renault Trucks 3:1 (1:1, 1:0, 1:0) HC Bolzano: Tomas Duba (Günther Hell); Alexander Egger, Niklas Jalmarsson, Christian Borgatello, Andrea Ambrosi, Daniel Fabris, Hannes Oberdörfer; Mark McCutcheon, MacGregor Sharp, Ryan Flynn, Anton Bernard, Markus Gander, Marco Insam, Enrico Dorigatti, Stefan Zisser, Christian Walcher, Peter Wunderer, Federico Gilmozzi, Stefano Piva; Coach: Brian McCutcheon

Ritten Sport Renault Trucks: Justin Pogge (Josef Niederstätter); Kevin Mitchell, Fabian Hackhofer, TJ Kemp, Ingemar Gruber, Markus Hafner, Klaus Ploner, Ruben Rampazzo; Dan Tudin, Greg Jacina, Alex Frei, Lorenz Daccordo, Ryan Ramsay, Domenico Perna, Emanuel Scelfo, Alexander Eisath, Thomas Spinell, Matthias Fauster, Julian Kostner, Andreas Alber Coach: Rob Wilson

Gates: 0:1 Domenico Perna (7.14), 1:1 MacGregor Sharp (10.45), 2:1 Mark McCutcheon (29.15), 3:1 MacGregor Sharp (43.33)

HC Bozen won the 2500th South Tyrolean derby against Ritten Sport with 94-3 goals in front of over 1 spectators. It was also the White-Reds' first home win in exactly 37 days (6:3 against Asiago). Ritten, however, had to admit defeat away from home for the fourth time in a row. Bolzano came with the best line-up and presented its audience for the first time with the two new additions, the Swedish NHL star Niklas Hjalmarsson and the Czech goalkeeper Tomas Duba. However, the injured Matteo Rasom was missing from Ritten. The Foxes got off to a better start and visiting goalkeeper Justin Pogge had to make two mistakes in the first five minutes: first on Ryan Flynn and then on a shot from Mark McCutcheon. Rob Wilson's team stood securely in defense and even took the lead after 7.14:1 minutes when they were outnumbered. Ryan Ramsey was in the penalty box when Borgatello lost the puck in the Rittner's attacking third and Lorenz Daccordo initiated a counterattack that Domenico Perna coldly converted to make it 0-1. It was the Italian-Canadian's eighth goal of the season. However, Bozen reacted promptly and equalized 1-29.15 just three minutes later with MacGregor Sharp, who was brilliantly played free by Ryan Flynn. In the middle third, the record champions pushed Rittner into their own defense. Newcomer Hjalmarsson in particular repeatedly tried to defeat Justin Pogge with long-range shots. Enrico Dorigatti and MacGregor Sharp also failed in the majority against the strong Rittner goalkeeper. However, the home side's lead was in the air and came in the 28 minute when Mark McCutcheon hit the top corner in the power play (Hafner was in the penalty box). It was the 43.33-year-old American's ninth goal in this championship. At the beginning of the final third, MacGegor Sharp decided the match with his second personal goal. In the 3 minute he used a pass from Ryan Flynn to make the final score 1-XNUMX.

Fiat Professional Wolves – Val di Fassa Ferrarini 5:0 (4:0, 1:0, 0:0) Fiat Professional Wolves: Philipp Kosta (from 47.17 Alexander Niederbrunner), Keith Seabrook, Christian Mair, Armin Hofer, Christian Willeit, Armin Helfer, Daniel Glira, Danny Elliscasis; Ben Guitè, Max Oberrauch, Pat Kavanagh, Pat Iannone, Patrick Bona, Joe Cullen, Joe Jensen, Lukas Tauber, Lukas Crepaz, Viktor Schweitzer, Thomas Erlacher, Benno Obermair, Alex Obermair Coach: Paul Adey

SHC Val di Fassa Ferrarini: Frank Doyle (Gianluca Vallini), David Turon, Jan Novak, Thomas Dantone, Mark Trottner, Damiano Casagranda; Martin Castlunger, Stefano Margoni, Cesare Sottsass, Enrico Chelodi, Michele Marchetti, Luca Planchensteiner, Nicola Deluca, Mattia Bernard, Massimo Valeruz, Gabriele Vieder, Matteo Dantone Coach: Miro Frycer

Gates: 1-0 Keith Seabrook (1.05), 2-0 Pat Iannone (4.59), 3-0 Joe Jensen (10.49), 4-0 Keith Seabrook (19.46), 5-0 Pat Kavanagh (20.51)

HC Pustertal achieved an easy win against Fassa and thus consolidated their lead in the table. Fassa went into the match badly handicapped due to the absences of Jakub Sindal, Petr Kalus and Greg Kuznik. Things went like clockwork for the HCP right from the start: after just one minute and five seconds, Keith Seabrook opened the scoring with a shot from the blue line. While there was no reaction from the Trentino team, the Bruneck team followed up and increased to 4.59-10.49 through Pat Iannone (3) and Joe Jensen (0). Immediately before the first third siren, Seabrook got on the scoresheet again. The game was already over at this point. The lively target shooting continued at the start of the second period when Pat Kavanagh gave Fassa goalkeeper Frank Doyle the lead for the fifth time. The HCP then shifted gears, but without losing control of the game. In the final phase, the only thing that caused a stir was Kosta's hand injury, who had to leave the ice after 47 minutes with his face contorted in pain, but was back in the box after exactly 2.11 minutes for Pustertal's number three Alexander Niederbrunner. Nothing changed in the score.

Alleghe Tegola Canadese – Valpellice Bodino Engineering 3:2 nP (0:0, 2:1, 0:1, 0:0, 1:0) Alleghe Tegola Canadese: Adam Dennis (Davide Fontanive), Francesco De Biasio, Matt Waddell, Carlo Lorenzi, Nicholas Kuiper, Sean McMonagle, Luka Tosic, Kewin Adami; Milos Ganz, Jeff Lo Vecchio, Jonas Johansson, Vince Rocco, Manuel De Toni, Manuel Da Tos, Jari Monferone, Davide Testori, Patrick Tormen, Daniele Veggiato, Nicola Fontanive, Alberto Fontanive; Coach: Tom Pokel

Valpellice Bodino Engineering: Jordan Parise (Andrea Rivoira), Florian Runer, Andrea Schina, Trevor Johnson, Nick Anderson, Paul Baier, Slavomir Tomko, Martino Durand Varese; Marco Pozzi, Brodie Dupont, Stefano Coco, Nate DiCasmirro, Pietro Canale, Ralph Intranuovo, Alex Silva, Rob Sirianni, Anthony Aquino, Paolo Nicolao Coach: Mike Flanagan

Gates: 1:0 Nicola Fontanive (21.08), 1:1 Marco Pozzi (25.35), 2:1 Matt Waddell (31.23), 2:2 Rob Sirianni (43.00), 3:2 decisive penalty: Sean McMonagle

Alleghe went into the top game against Valpellice without the injured Gino Guyer. Nicola and Alberto Fontanive returned to the ice. Meanwhile, Valpellice were hunting for the last Italian Cup ticket with the recovered Slavomir Tomko and Paolo Nicolao. In the first third, the home team took control of the game, but failed to clear things up with a goal. For his part, Valpellice hardly made any accents. The game only picked up speed in the middle period: after two minutes, Nicola Fontanive scored to make it 1-0 for Alleghe. After 25.35 minutes, Valpe player Marco Pozzi equalized to make it 1-1, before Matt Waddell gave the home team the lead again a short time later. In the final period of the game, Valpellice once again threw everything into the balance and was rewarded by Rob Sirianni's 2-2 equalizer. This secured the Piedmontese's participation in the Italian Cup at this point. Accordingly, the game-winning goal in Alleghe's favor from McMonagle in the penalty shootout was certainly bearable.

Milano Rossoblu – Migross Supermercati Asiago 3:2 nP (1:1, 1:0, 0:1, 0:0, 1:0) Milan Rossoblu: Andrew Raycroft (Paolo Della Bella), Alessandro Re, Matt De Marchi, Marvin Degon, David Liffiton, Andreas Lutz, Federico Betti; Luca Ansoldi, Diego Iori, Ryan Kinasewich, Edoardo Caletti, Manuel Lo Presti, Marcello Borghi, Tommaso Goi, Michael Mazzacane, Matt Ryan, Tommaso Migliore, Nicolò Latin, Mirko Migliavacca Coach: Massimo Da Rin

Migross Supermercati Asiago: Vincenzo Marozzi (Alessandro Tura), Enrico Miglioranzi, Michele Strazzabosco, Stefano Marchetti, Dan Sullivan, Lorenzo Casetti; Nicola Tessari, Dave Borrelli, Mirko Presti, Luca Rigoni, Michele Stevan, Layne Ulmer, Sean Bentivoglio, Federico Benetti, Matteo Tessari, Paul Zanette, Josè Magnabosco Coach: Franco Vellar

Gates: 1:0 Tommaso Goi (7.31), 1:1 Matteo Tessari (10.27), 2:1 Diego Iori (36.05), 2:2 Paul Zanette (55.10), 3:2 decisive penalty: Tommaso Goi

In Milan everyone was looking forward to the debut of Ryan Kinasewich, the second newcomer, Jordan Knackstedt, was unable to play due to bureaucratic problems in Sweden. Francesco Borghi was also missing from the Lombards. Asiago offered Vincenzo Marozzi between the posts for the first time. However, Chris Di Domenico was still missing from the offensive line. The encounter at the Agorà Stadium started off extremely slowly and chances to score were initially in short supply. As if out of nowhere, Tommaso Goi gave Milan the lead after 7.31:36.05 minutes. Just three minutes later, Asiago equalized through Matteo Tessari. The home team then pushed for the lead again, but in return Borrelli suddenly had a huge chance on the bat. However, this was thwarted by Raycroft. At the beginning of the second third, his counterpart Marozzi was the focus when he stopped a strong solo from Ansoldi. However, Milan's opening goal was only postponed, as after 2 minutes Diego Iori finally scored his eighth goal of the season to make it 1-XNUMX. In the final third, Milan failed to close the bag early. Asiago took advantage of this and equalized four minutes before the end with a remarkable goal from Paul Zanette. Both teams had to go into overtime and, when it passed without any goals, then a penalty shootout. Tommaso Goi's goal gave Milan their first win of the season after a penalty shootout.

In the basement duel in the Vuerich Stadium, both trainers were able to make full use of their potential. At Cortina, Renè Baur was preferred between the posts over JP Levasseur. He had to go twice in the early stages when Erik Weissmann and Rok Pajic made it 2-0 with a quick double strike. After that, Baur's working day was over again. After 4.36 minutes he had to make way for Levasseur. At the beginning of the middle third, Pontebba stayed in control and scored 3-0 through Miroslav Guren. Now Cortina was suddenly shaken awake and launched a counterattack: First, Derek Edwardson and Darrell Hay reduced the score to 2:3, before Giorgio De Bettin equalized with his goal after 38.20:48 minutes. Cortina's successful comeback was crowned by Michele Zanatta's winning goal in the XNUMXth minute of the game. With a moral tour de force, the guests finally brought the “threesome” to a close.
