Bolzano's rump troops are defeated by the 99ers

Three days before the start of the playoffs, Bozen's coach Kai Suikkanen was forced to improvise more than ever: The Finnish trainer had to do without six players in Graz - in addition to the four injured Paul Geiger, Matt MacKenzie, Andrew Crescenzi and Brett Findlay, the suspended Dan was also lost Catenacci and the sick Marco Insam. The HCB started the game with only 15 field players - Jake Smith was the regular number "2" in goal.

In the first quarter-final game on Wednesday, regular goalkeeper Leland Irving and the trio Geiger, Catenacci and Insam are expected to return to the ice.

3 South Tyroleans score for the HCB About the game: After first chances on both sides, Graz took the lead towards the middle of the first third. Garbowsky completed a quick counterattack perfectly and outwitted the hopeless Smith to make it 1-0. In the middle period, the 99ers followed up with Moderer - the Austrian international used a rebound to make it 2-0. A little later, Daniel Glira brought the HCB back into the game: The Puster defender scored with a hidden shot into the top corner to make it 1-2. However, the Graz team were unimpressed by Bozen's goal and extended their lead even before the start of the final third. First, Oleksuk, who was left alone, made it 3-1, before Yellow Horn made it 4-1 after a Caito shot was briefly saved.

The final third ultimately belonged entirely to the people of Bolzano. Despite the three-goal deficit, Suikkanen's team didn't give up and got back into the game thanks to Ivan Deluca and Viktor Schweitzer: Deluca reduced the score to 2:4 with a powerful shot a quarter of an hour before the end, and five minutes later Schweitzer converted a pass from Frank to 3:4. In the last few minutes the HCB threw everything forward, but instead of scoring the goal to make it 4:4, the Bolzano team scored two more goals: Oleksuk made it 5:3 after a Nordlund mistake, King scored with an empty net -Scored the final score to 6:3.
