The Bolzano grabs the lucky bag

HC Bozen is a real surprise at this stage of the season. From half-hearted performances to exhilarating ice hockey, it's all there when Daniel Frank & Co. step on the ice. The 4-3 win against record champions Klagenfurt was also a real rollercoaster of emotions, although this time the Foxes' class secured the three points and thus their return to first place.

Coach Greg Hanlon had put his cracks through the wringer after Friday's 3-4 defeat against Asiago and spoke plainly in the dressing room the next day. At the HCB everyone agreed: not like that!

And the people of Bolzano started off against Klagenfurt with corresponding motivation, enthusiasm and goal-orientation. They were leading 4-1 until the second period break, but the Carinthians could hardly get a hold of it. But in the final third, the Foxes' sloppiness crept in again. In the end, it was thanks to goalie Sam Harvey that the victory, which was believed to be certain, was not given away.

Short & sweet: The highlights of the game Hults co-production The Hults brothers give the Foxes the lead: Cole plays Mitch into the slot, who scores from a tight angle with a one-timer to make it 1-0 (6th). Short shock The KAC cleverly undermined the Bolzano defense and Jesper Jensen Aabo scored to make it 1-1 (12th). For now, however, there should only be a brief flicker of guests. McClure nonchalantly From the backcourt, Mike Halmo plays precisely to Brad McClure, who briefly takes the puck and coolly flicks it into the corner - 2-1 (14th). What was that please? The 3-1 is a strange goal: Enrico Miglioranzi simply backhanded the disc from the Blues towards the goal, a Klagenfurt stick was still very slightly attached and this resulted in a fluttering shot that completely threw Dahm out of his mind (29th). . Bolzano raid Mitch Hults, Luca Frigo and Christian Thomas break into the Carinthian third with a turbo counterattack, and the latter finally slots in dry (34'). Bolzano can hardly be stopped in this phase. Firefighter sam In the final third the Red Jackets are on the trigger, but HCB goalie Sam Harvey keeps pulling the coals out of the fire. But he is powerless when it comes to the hidden shot from ex-NHL crack Paul Postma (50th) and the rebound from Lucas Lessio (59th). While HC Bozen greets again from the top of the table, they could Kellerkind HC Pustertal made a big statement with a 7-0 win in Ljubljana on Sunday. The ICE continues on Wednesday: The derby dress rehearsal against Graz and Innsbruck awaits Foxes and Wolves.
