Foxes go into the quarter-finals with one defeat

The Foxes lost 1-3 to the third-place team from the Austrian capital in a game in which the special teams made the difference. However, the result only had statistical value for both opponents. After that, the focus in the ICE Hockey League turned to the playoff pick, in which Bolzano chose its quarter-final opponent.

Before the ice wave got down to business, Dennis Robertson was awarded the “Fighting Spirit Award”. The defender from Canada, who has been outstanding this season, was honored by journalists and white and red supporters for his tireless efforts.

After a minute's silence for the Mark Pavelich, who died too early Bolzano and Vienna initially offered a fast-paced game, without, however, exploiting their full performance potential. It was a warm-up for the start of the playoffs on Friday. At the end of a first third with few chances, Marco Insam hit the mark in the power play. The Val Gardena striker ends a goal drought that has been going on since December 22nd with a one-timer.

There was little to see of Bolzano afterwards; instead, Vienna took the reins and brought about the turnaround with two power play goals: Fabio Artner scored with a rebound in the 26th minute, and Nikolaus Hartl with one in the 37th minute Slapshot. The fourth goal of the evening also came when Caps striker Ty Loney made the final score 3-1 in the final phase. VSV secures last ticket While the HCB and the Vienna Capitals were already mentally in the playoffs at times, Villach in Dornbirn and the Black Wings Linz were still fighting for a ticket to the post season against the Graz 99ers in the long-distance duel. In the end, the Villach team took it, having the upper hand in a true penalty thriller against Dornbirn.
