Elite.A: Pustertal trembles its way to victory in Vipiteno

In the Weihenstephan Arena, HC Pustertal won 5-4 after a comeback. The guests, who competed without the injured Scandella, Tauber and Erlacher, took the lead through Crepaz after 16.29:25 minutes. However, this only lasted 2 seconds before Eastman equalized. One minute before the first third siren, O'Marra scored to give HCP the lead again. After the restart, the Wild Horses were wide awake and turned things around within a few minutes: First Wieser scored to make it 2-4, then Caig scored, before Wieser scored again to make it 2-41. After Helfer's goal in the 5st minute, the Bruneck team gained hope again. Rightly so, as it turned out, because in the final third McLeod and Bona ensured another turnaround and ultimately secured the Wolves' 4-XNUMX away win and the Broncos' ninth defeat in a row.

Dan Tudin leads Ritten to victory

Ritten Sport also achieved a hard-fought victory on St. Stephen's Day. The “Buam” beat Valpellice 3-2 in front of their home team. Backup Josef Niederstätter also played an important factor, being allowed to start for the first time this season as Chris Mason is with Team Canada at the Spengler Cup. Both teams started like fire engines in the Ritten Arena. First Scelfo hit the mark, then Maxwell equalized for the visitors. In the second third it was the Piedmontese who took the lead through Strong, but this time Siddall scored the instant equalizer for Ritten. The decision was made in the final period when Dan Tudin scored Rittner's winning goal after 49.44. The slip-up in Cortina from the previous matchday has been made up for.

Match cancellations in Cortina and Canazei

The games in Vipiteno and Klobenstein were the only ones that kicked off on Thursday. In Cortina, 50 cm of fresh snow fell during the day, and the power went out again and again. The game against Asiago will now be rescheduled for Friday at 20 p.m. An alternative date must also be found for the match between Fassa and Milan. The game is expected to be played in early January. Due to the masses of snow and the associated traffic problems, the visiting team was unable to travel to Canazei on Thursday.
