Continental Cup: The HCB scores a point at the end - UPDATE

The Foxes went into the last game of the Super Final for the Continental Cup in a weak state: In addition to the long-term injured Christian Walcher, Marco Insam, who injured his shoulder against Donbass Donetsk and will now be out for around ten days, was also missing. Insam's place in the second offensive block was taken by Enrico Dorigatti, while Federico Gilmozzi and Pontus Moren took turns in the third attack line.

The start was even. The Belarusians tried long shots, while the HCB relied on quick counterattacks. So Mark McCutcheon ignited the turbo in the eleventh minute, but failed to serve Flynn in time, who would have had plenty of space in front of the goal. As a result, Zhlobin became stronger and Tomas Duba slowly got up to operating temperature. The white and red number one particularly stood out when Alexei Yeremin had a chance in the 17th minute.

But Bolzano escaped into the third break, in which Egger & Co. were able to recharge their batteries for the second act. After the break, Duba was very attentive to a shot from Georgi Yaskevich and the rebound from Yeremin. A little later, the Talferstadt team could have taken the lead when Flynn, after exemplary preparatory work from MacGregor Sharp, got stuck to Dmitri Milchakov after 27.50 minutes. Coach Spiridonov's team became more active again towards the end of the second period, but Duba was always on point during the attacks - mainly in the power play.

In the third third, the Foxes kept their Belarusian opponents at a distance and repeatedly appeared dangerous in front of Zhlobin's goal. But Metallurg Zhlobin had the best chances in the last minutes of the game. First, Zisser involuntarily fed Yeremin, who forced Duba into a brilliant performance before Konstantin Baranov missed the goal from close range.

In overtime, Mark McCutcheon shot the puck a few centimeters wide of the goal before Duba excelled once again on a shot from Nikita Remezov. The winner of this game was ultimately determined in a penalty shootout. Sharp scored, but Baranov also got the puck under. After a failed attempt by McCutcheon, the Belarusians took the lead with Alexei Yefilmenko. Egger then brought the HCB back into the game. The final point came from Yefimenko, who left Duba behind, while MacGregor Sharp got stuck on the Belarusian goalie Milchakov.
