Foxes start the pick round with a defeat

In Linz, both teams initially tried not to concede a goal, but there wasn't much chance in terms of chances. Only after eleven minutes did Potulny appear alone in front of Melichercik, but found his match in the Bolzano goalie. Shortly before the third break, the Foxes' box rang when the puck found its way to Piche, who scored 1-0 from the advantage and from very close range.

After the break, the Foxes took the reins but were unable to convert their visual superiority into something countable. It therefore took a major mistake from Linz to break the Bozen goal spell a few seconds before the third-period siren: Reid was able to intercept D'Aversa's pass and immediately pass it to Root, who put the puck in the goal.

Ex-Bozner breaks Foxes' neck In the last section, the Stahlstadters increased the number of hits and initially tied the guests in their third. Only when Potulny made it 2-1 for Linz eleven minutes before the end and again in the majority with a wonderful cross corner goal did the Foxes reflect on their strengths and become more courageous going forward. In the end it was Brodie Reid who scored his 23rd goal of the season with a remarkable shot and thus made it 2-2. As a result, the people of Bolzano pushed for the opening goal, but were then given a cold shower. During a quick counter-attack, Hofer served his colleague and former Bolzano player Joel Broda, who first loaded Melichercik with his fine technique and then made it 3-2. The Foxes then threw everything forward and still had good chances to equalize thanks to Glenn (alone in front of the Linz goalie) and Seymour (with a sharp shot) - but it wasn't to be. Potulny made the final score via empty net.

On Sunday at 17.30 p.m. there will be a duel with Salzburg in the Bolzano Eiswelle.
