A duo leads the Foxes to a prestigious victory

There has never been a better time to put the Red Jackets in their place than this Sunday. KAC coach Petri Matikainen had to do without five players, including points guarantee Nick Petersen, who will be out for a longer period. The Foxes, who played without Marco Insam and Dustin Gazley, but with Leonardo Felicetti on loan from Fassa, seized this opportunity, showed one of the best performances of the season and deservedly won 60-1 after 0 intense minutes.

The fact that the approximately 2000 fans were able to celebrate a home win was mainly due to two players. On the one hand, to striker Mike Halmo, who moved through the opponent's zone like a whirlwind, and on the other hand, to goalkeeper Kevin Boyle, who confidently fended off all 27 of the KAC's shots. But it would be wrong to attribute the success only to these two actors. The HCB finally appeared as a unit - even if not everything worked out - and impressed with their great commitment.

In Tuesday's game in Salzburg, Doug Mason's team wants to show the same virtues in order to win the fourth game in a row - and further improve the table situation. The highlights Favored by Klagenfurt's lack of discipline, the Foxes dominated the starting third at will and were rewarded by Mike Halmo, who outwitted Sebastian Dahm from a tight angle in the power play five seconds before the end of the period - 1-0. Matikainen obviously found the right words during the break, because his men appeared as if they had been replaced in the second half: Thomas Koch, Lukas Haudum and Rok Ticar failed because of the strong Boyle. The Red Jackets also dictated the game in the final section, but there were only a few gaps in the HCB defense, which meant that there were almost no big opportunities. And when there is a danger of scoring, Boyle is wide awake. The American destroyed several KAC attacks in the final minutes and held on to the HCB victory.
