The HC Pustertal frees itself from the crisis

In the first game after the international break and the dismissal of coach Luciano Basile, the HCP won against Graz 3-2. After the almost 1.500 spectators in the Intercable Arena were served lean food in the first third, things got really busy in the second half. After the guests from Styria turned the home team's 1-0 lead on its head, Pustertal's new signing Greg Carey made it 2-2.

The 31-year-old Canadian hit the mark in his first appearance for the Wolves. In the final third, the outstanding Jakob Stukel scored his second goal to make it 3-2.

Interim coach Matej Hocevar was in charge at HC Pustertal on Tuesday evening. Armin Helfer was at his side as an assistant. The new head coach Raimo Helminen will make his debut on Friday in the derby against HC Bozen. The two new additions Max Gerlach and the aforementioned Carey were there. However, the HCP had to do without defender Daniel Glira, who is injured.

HC Pustertal continues on Friday (19.45 p.m.) with the second South Tyrolean ICE derby against HC Bozen. The next home game is scheduled for the next day against Fehervar. By the way, there is a new points system in the ICE Hockey League after the withdrawal of the Bratislava Capitals ( SportNews berichtete ).

The highlights In the first third there are a lot of puck losses on both sides, hardly any passes over several stations and almost no scoring opportunities. Jakob Stukel gives the HCP the lead in the 26th minute. After a pass from Dante Hannoun, Stukel finishes in the backcourt and scores to make it 1-0. The Wolves' leadership didn't defend itself for long: just three minutes later, defender Ben Blood outwitted Tomas Sholl with a hard shot. The 99ers turn the game around. A deflected shot from Erik Kirschschläger lands at Alis Alagic, who scores to make it 30-2 for Graz in the 1th minute. The home team is back: New signing Greg Carey storms towards the goal alone after a pass from Harju, stays cool and scores to equalize 2-2. The HCP takes the lead at the beginning of the final third. After an iconic shot, Stukel used the rebound to make it 3:2.
