HCB Südtirol brings the Caps to their knees

The HCB started furiously and took the lead in the second minute. Brendan Bell successfully completed a quick combination with Foster and Palmieri. In the sixth minute, Palmieri was unlucky with a shot against the crossbar, after which the Foxes brilliantly survived being twice outnumbered. Egger had further scoring opportunities with a dangerous long-range shot, while Foster and Daniel Frank found their match in Kickert.

Four minutes before the end of the third, the second goal was scored for HCB Südtirol. Pollastrone curved through the Caps defense in his inimitable style and fed Foster alone in front of the goal. He played the goalkeeper and pushed the disc into the top corner. Two minutes before the end of the period, a curious own goal from Bolzano brought the Viennese back into the game: Hübl deflected a shot from Nödl and the disc bounced off Bell into the empty goal.

The Foxes also largely dominated the game in the middle third and Nick Palmieri tried twice right at the start. Then the guests managed to equalize. Jamie Fraser somehow poked the exposed puck into the HCB goal. Immediately afterwards, the Viennese team had a huge opportunity after Bolzano lost a target, which Hüblim thwarted at the last moment. The Foxes now faltered, Tom Pokel took a timeout and then the home team launched a real assault on Kickert's goal. The power play finally worked and Joel Broda ended his goal ban. A minute later, Jerry Pollastrone “walked” through the entire Caps defense and restored the two-goal lead with a magnificent finish. The audience gave a standing ovation. And it got even better: In the last minute of the third, Joel Broda went one better with his second goal of the evening on a pass from DiCasmirro.

In the final third, the Foxes gave the guests little room to maneuver and easily kept their lead. In addition, the people of Bolzano had several scoring opportunities through Pollastrone alone before Kickert and Egger with a powerful shot. Marco Insam had the best opportunity when Oberdörfer came directly from the penalty box and played it wonderfully free, but he was unable to get past the visiting goalkeeper.
