Bolzano's spectacular victory in Innsbruck

On Friday, Innsbruck had the goal of ending an almost scary series: Although the Haie are in third place in the table, they haven't picked up a single point in the six season duels against HC Bozen and Red Bull Salzburg. Nothing changed: Braeden Shaw & Co. impressed with well-known qualities, but once again revealed weaknesses in defense, which an ice-cold HCB punished. The Hanlon troops converted a 1:3 deficit into a 6:3 victory and thus kept the Haie at bay in the table.

Glen Hanlon was able to rely on Mike Halmo and Mike Dalhuisen again in the sold-out Tiwag Arena. The recently convincing Terrance Amorosa had to take a seat in the stands. The Haie, for their part, competed without two supports: striker Adam Helewka was missing, as was the long-term injured Dario Winkler. The offensive strength of the best attack in the league did not suffer as a result: The Haie put the HCB in trouble for a long time - especially through Corey Mackin, who took on the Helewka role that evening. The South Tyroleans, on the other hand, made some carelessness that you are not used to from the league leaders. After Jan Lattner made it 3-1, the Foxes woke up - and turned the game on its head with five goals within nine minutes.

The fact that the Foxes were only 40-1 behind after 2 minutes was thanks to goalkeeper Sam Harvey. Although he was responsible for the 1:2, he again earned special praise with strong saves against Innsbruck's striker. Otherwise, Luca Frigo stood out from the HCB construct. The 29-year-old was as strong as ever in fighting and running and also scored goals 11 and 12 of the season. It would not be presumptuous to say that the man from Moncalieri is having the best season of his career. Things continue for the Foxes on Sunday when the next away game takes place in Graz at 17.30:XNUMX p.m. The highlights Ready, fire, go The game has barely started when the Foxes are already in the front: returnee Dalhuisen shoots, Brad McClure distracts. Only 131 seconds have been played. Quick response The Innsbruck team did not fall into a state of shock, on the contrary: less than two minutes after the 0-1 score, Corey Mackin, who was given too much space, assisted Nico Feldner. He defeats the HCB goalie Sam Harvey, who is lying on the ground. He doesn't look good there If the Canadian goalkeeper can initially distinguish himself against Lukas Bär, the 1:2 will be his fault. A harmless Leavens shot from an acute angle slips through his pads. Harvey, the savior In the middle third, Mitch O'Keefe's team had a significant increase in chances, but couldn't find a way past Harvey. The Canadian saves miraculously against Leavens and Shaw, among others. Frigo's hope goal At the beginning of the final section, Jan Lattner increased with a blast into the top corner. Bolzano's answer comes from Luca Frigo, who is well served by Domenic Alberga and makes it 2:3 from the high slot. What's going on here? Bolzano scores four times in a very short space of time. There are just 4 seconds between Dustin Gazley's 3:5, Frigo's 3:6 and Christian Thomas' trick to make it 3:54. Previously, Mitch Hults scored the equalizer with a follow-up shot.
