Elite.A: Broncos and Wolves come up short

Justin Taylor made his debut for the Wipptalers and played in a line with TJ Caig. The Broncos' other two new import players, Derek Lee and Chris Knowlton, will travel to Norway on Sunday to collect their original visas. Then nothing should stand in the way of tesseration for the rest of the season in Italy. Milan were able to play fully in the Fuggerstadt and were highly motivated after the gala performance against Cortina. The Vipiteno team put Steinmann in goal and Millykowski had to sit on the bench.

Milan started strong and took the lead after a few moments with the third block. Ranallo gave Steinmann the loss with a slapshot into the top corner. But the shot didn't seem unstoppable. But the Vipiteno reaction was not long in coming. After 5.05 minutes, Braito dusted himself off and equalized. On the other side, Estoclet put the Lombards back in the lead in the eighth minute of the game before Gellert even increased the score to 3-1. Travincek now took a timeout and it had an effect. Because now the Wipptalers took the reins in their hands, took control of the game and also had good chances, like the one from Erat, who only hit the outside post after a nice solo. In the final phase, Erat should have scored from Ludvik's assist, but Dainton outgrew himself.

Sterzing also remained in control in the middle third. With the advantage, Erat came dangerously ahead of Dainton after Caig's template, but Dainton once again retained the upper hand. On the other hand, Milan did better. After an exemplary counterattack, Lo Presti only had to hold out the stick and push the puck over the line after Fontanive's preparatory work (27.47). Steinmann now left his post between the posts and handed over to Millykowski. The Broncos continued to press the accelerator, but nothing significant came of it. Caig missed the best chance.

Milan pulled back well in the final third. Vipiteno continued to try, but at the latest Dainton was the end of the line. The guests, however, continued to rely on their dangerous counterattacks and were rewarded. Because in the 47th minute Fontanive, the best player on the ice, made it 5:1. So the die was cast. Sterzing was able to shorten the score to 3:5 with Florian Wieser and TJ Caig, but Lo Presti made everything clear with 47 seconds before the end with the 6:3 into the empty Vipiteno goal. Thanks to the victory, the Lombards overtake the Broncos in the table, who slip to seventh place.

Richer with a false start for the Wolves

The Wolves Fiat Professional went down 0-4 in the Olympic Stadium - and that was on Mario Richer's debut on the Puster bench. However, the HCP also had to complain about some injuries among the Ampezzan team. While David Ling had to postpone his debut again, Christian Mair, Giulio Scandella and Lukas Tauber were also missing. Zandonella returned to the team at Cortina.

The first third was even, with both teams playing with their sights open. De Bettin gave Aubin the loss for the first time after 5.27:2 minutes. The guests then pressed for an equalizer, but Cortina took advantage of the third advantage situation and made it 0-38.09 with Grof. In the middle third, Helfer & Co. failed to score the next goal. Instead, the yellow-blacks acted very hectically and received many time penalties. When Luca Felicetti made it 3-0 in the power play after XNUMX:XNUMX minutes, a preliminary decision had been made.

After the last break, Felicetti was unable to celebrate the goal when he hit the post. But the 4-0 win for Cortina came thanks to Stanislav Gron. Both teams then let the remaining six minutes pass. The evening ended with a surprising defeat for the Wolves. So Mario Richer has a lot to do in the next few weeks to calibrate the HCP perfectly for the playoffs.
