HC Bozen has to go through the intermediate round

Three days after the 1:4 defeat in Graz, the Foxes lost 2:3 at Olimpija Ljubljana. This means that the Foxes can definitely no longer place in the top 6, which means direct qualification for the playoffs (from March 9th). The Foxes, who will finish the basic round in 9th place, have to take the unpopular route through the intermediate round.

Those teams ranked between 7 and 10 will take part in the so-called pre-playoffs. It is not yet clear which team the Foxes will have to face. This will be decided after the last games of the regular season on Sunday evening. As a result, the selection is made for the intermediate round. Starting next Wednesday, this will be about the two remaining tickets for the playoff quarter-finals.

The Foxes' new signing Andreas Bernard was not yet between the posts on Friday evening in Laibach. The previous replacement goalie Justin Fazio was given a chance. The other new signing, Markus Kankaanperä, has already been called up - in the second line of defense alongside Keegan Lowe.

The HCB temporarily made up for a two-goal deficit against the Green Dragons. But in the final third, the young Slovenian Rok Kapel ensured the home team's victory with his goal to make it 2-3, which was not undeserved. Ljubljana has also won the second duel of the season against the Foxes. At the same time, the ICE newcomer also made his playoff ticket clear.

The highlights Cold shower The Green Dragons take the lead with their first dangerous action. Cimzar receives a pass in the goal area and converts to 3-1 after just under 0 minutes. After a 2-minute penalty for Catenacci, Ljubljana increased to 2-0 through Tomazevic – and that after less than 5 minutes. HCB double whammy At the end of a balanced second third, the HCB scored the 1:2 goal. With double the number, Plastino slams a blueliner into the net. Just two minutes later, Bozen equalized. If Trivellato takes a long shot, Goalie Us has no chance. Setback Towards the middle of the final third the home team took the lead again. Kapel takes the shot, Fazio slips the puck between the pole and the pad: 3:2 for Laibach.

HC Pustertal also doesn't have a direct playoff ticket in its pocket yet. The Wolves lost 2:5 against the Vienna Capitals on Friday and now have to go to Znojmo for the showdown.
