Elite. A: Ritten is celebrating – bitter defeats for Pustertal and Vipiteno

The “Rittner Buam” celebrated a 4-2 win in Milan on Thursday. New striker Kevin DiDiomete made his debut for the home team, while Ruben Rampazzo returned to the ice for the Knights after serving a suspension. At the start of the game both teams were level. Thomas Spinell opened the scoring in the 12.18 minute and Nelson scored the second goal for the team from the South Tyrolean plateau in the middle third.

However, in the 27.01 minute, debutant Kevin DiDiomete came into the spotlight and reduced the score to 1:2, while Nicola Fontanive restored the tie shortly before half-time. The decision finally came in the final third when the guests took the lead again with a goal from Lollo Daccordo. The red-blues threw everything forward in the final minutes and even took the goalkeeper off the ice. Matt Siddal took advantage of this situation and sealed the final score 4-2 with a shot into the empty goal.

Cortina stops Vipiteno

Vipiteno's successful run was stopped by Cortina on Thursday. The hosts, who will have to make do without Catenacci, who has returned to Canada, were missing the long-term injured Hackhofer on Thursday. Meanwhile, Cortina had to do without Baur and Christian Menardi. Not much happened at the beginning, but in the eleventh minute of the game the Vipiteno team got their motor going and used a power play situation to their advantage. Erat fed TJ Caig, who hit the puck into the back of the net to make it 1-0. In the middle period, however, the guests from Cortina took advantage of their first chance and equalized with Moser to make it 1-1, before Gron (power-hit), De Bettin and Lacedelli secured a comfortable three-goal lead before the second break. Dingle finally made it 5-1 in the 48.27 minute.

Wolves must bow to Valpellice

HC Pustertal, who were visiting Torre Pellice, also suffered a 1-5 defeat on Thursday evening. Jeff Frazee, who missed the last two games due to his appearances with the national team in the Germany Cup, was once again in charge of the home team. For the Wolves, however, goalie Jean Sébastien Aubin made his comeback. Nevertheless, the Pusterers were once again decimated as they had to play for the suspended McCauley and Erlacher in addition to the injured McLeod, Obberauch and Tauber.

Things got straight to the point in Torre Pellice on Thursday evening. The home side were ahead for the first time after 43 seconds thanks to a goal from Scott Barney, but Scandella equalized in the 4.01 minute to make it 1-1. Strong shot Valpe back into the lead almost seven minutes later and Nunn increased the score to 3-1 before the first third siren. In the second half of the game, the home team got off to a flying start and extended their lead to 5-1 with goals from Ihnacak and Barney. This result remained the same.
