Elite.A: Ritten and Pustertal lead - Vipiteno loses

In the Ritten Arena, coach Rob Wilson invited Urquhart and allowed Guentzel to sit in the stands. Julian Kostner, Mirko Quinz and the suspended Ingemar Gruber were also there. At Valpe, Frazee returned between the posts and Barney was also part of the squad again. Maxwell, Johnson, Strong and Nunn were still missing. As in the most recent meeting in Torre Pellice, the Piedmontese team, despite the failures, took a courageous approach right from the start and broke the deadlock. In the 18th minute, Canale made it 1-0. Ritten only really woke up in the middle section. Scelfo scored the equalizer that was now deserved. However, this was only short-lived, as Petrak put the guests in the front again before the second break. However, Valpe had made the calculations without the Rittners' renewed will to win. They turned the tables - inspired by two outnumbered situations - and made it 3-2 in the final phase. Siddall was the double gold scorer. Afterwards, Tudin and Ansoldi (Ritten) and Ambrosi (Valpe) hit the mark again, but nothing changed about Ritten's victory.

The wolves are in a goal mood

HC Pustertal started the trip to Asiago without Eliscassis as well as Benno and Alex Obermair. Nevertheless, it was the South Tyroleans who stepped on the accelerator from the start and after only a short time Sirianni hit the goal post. Bona did better afterwards and put the puck in the Asiago goal. But now the Wolves had really tasted blood, because at the beginning of the second third they extended their lead to 3-0 thanks to Scandella and Helfer. If Marozzi didn't look good when he conceded the third goal, the Asiago goalie suffered an even bigger mishap a little later when he let a harmless shot from Borgatello's neutral zone pass. It was 4-0 for the HCP. For Marozzi, the pitch-black evening continued. In the 42nd minute he was unfortunately hit by Oberrauch and had to be taken off the ice by the paramedics. Meanwhile, the Puster goal avalanche began. Sirianni, Campbell and Schweitzer increased the score to 7:0.

Vipiteno is denied a second away win

Due to the two opening defeats, Milan already had their backs against the wall in the home game against Vipiteno. The Lombards went to work with corresponding commitment. They tried to force their game on the Wipptalers, who again competed without Ludvik. Apart from a shot at the outside post by Estoclet, there was little that was countable. In the opening phase of the middle third, Sterzing had to accept the first goal: DiDiomete scored in the majority. As a result, tempers became even more heated. This resulted in the home team's second goal, which converted another power play situation into 2-0. This time it was Gellert who hit the mark. Afterwards, Vipiteno tried to get into the game with commitment, but had no luck in front of the opponent's goal. The Milan team were completely different, as they first scored an empty net goal with DiDiomete and then secured the final score of 4-0 with Guerra. Since Thursday evening, Fassa's players have been able to book their vacation. They also lost to Cortina in the third game and paved the way for the Ampezzo team to reach the next round of the playoffs, where they will now face the loser of the duel between Ritten and Valpellice.
