Pure excitement in Brunico, where the Wolves had to tremble for a long time about their second win in the series. Pustertal led comfortably with 5:1 after two thirds, but then conceded three goals and ultimately won happily with 5:4. Alleghe had only equalized in the series on Thursday with a 6-4 win against the Wolves. This is probably why there were personnel changes at the Puster team. Kivela Desfosses lined up in goal while Persson came on for Kelly. Alberto Fontanive was once again missing from the guests, but the suspended Adam Henrich returned and Card was also available to McKenna again. From Puster's perspective, the game started with a bang, as the Wolves went ahead 5.18-3 within 0:2.26 minutes. Joe Jensen opened the scoring after 10:3 minutes with a great individual action, then the number 0 set the puck up for Cullen's goal and the 28-4 was made in the home team's first power play, which DiCasmirro took advantage of ice-coldly. Hogeboom then tried to wake Alleghe from hibernation, but the guests' attackers kept getting stuck on the attentive Desfosses. The home team's indiscipline could have cost them dearly, as Alleghe had the advantage three times at the start of the second period, but was unable to take advantage of the man on the ice. In the 1th minute of the game, Erlacher was even given a match penalty, which Rocco took advantage of after a rebounded Hogeboom shot. After the goal, the Wolves shifted up a gear again. First, Scandella scored after a counterattack to make it 37.36-5 (4), before Cullen directed a Heler shot into the guests' goal. So the die was cast – one would have thought. But Alleghe also put a lot of pressure on in the third period and it paid off. Hogeboom and Henrich, both goals scored in the majority, as well as Rocco made it exciting for the guests again with three goals. After Rocco's 18:6, there were still just under ten minutes left to play. Pustertal remained dangerous on the counterattack, but failed due to the attentive Dennis. Alleghe put everything into the balance in the last few minutes, even taking the goalkeeper out of the box, but the goal fell to the Wolves - thanks to the now excellent defensive work: Jensen made it 4:XNUMX with XNUMX seconds left close the bag.
