Fundamental victory: Wolves enjoy the pioneers

In the 3:1 win, the goal shooting ratio of 43:23 in favor of the Wolves shows that they deserved the win. This time the game-decisive impulses came from individual actions.

After the previous day's defeat in the Tyrolean duel against Innsbruck, Wolves coach Phil Horsky once again made some line changes. This initially seemed to unsettle the series of storms. The Wolves' most recent 4 defeats were noticeable mentally and it will be interesting to see whether New purchase Johan Harju can compensate for the missing kilos and the lack of fine-tuning. Quite a few fans in the green valley are now hoping that Aaron Luchuk, who is once again invisible, will have to pack his bags.

In the only Saturday evening game of the ICE Hockey League, the decimated Pioneers Vorarlberg visited Bruneck for the first time. In keeping with the omens, what was shown on the ice was mostly not very exciting. The Wolves, who had to deliver, lost the thread a few times. This circumstance always gave the newly founded club from the region, which only has the playing cities in common with the “original” VEU Feldkirch, a sense of morning air. The 2-1 in the final third had a liberating effect, the Black and Yellows, who had always tried hard, gradually became more confident and the emotions were suddenly there. The highlights of the game Individual actions Olivier Archambault hit the post with the advantage in the 8th minute, and Wyatt Ege did a better job a minute later, as he danced through the visitors' defense and was given all the freedom. Vorarlberg then improved and Jake Smith finally used a Richard Jarusek pawn trick to equalize (14th). Caffi time The visiting goalkeeper Alex Caffi is well warmed up and takes the coals out of the fire for his team against, among others, Marco Sanna (23rd), Archambault (25th) and Marc-Olivier Roy (37th). Redemptive cheers The starting third starts chaotic and disjointed. When three Vorarlberg players were not in the picture, Filip Ahl was able to calmly look for Caffi and confidently load him up to make it 2-1 (45th). Little chat Now emotions are running high and Giancluca March “buys” Hampus Eriksson, whom he gives nice words and slaps to the penalty box. The arena is raging! Die Entscheidung The Pioneers take Caffi off the ice and Roy finally closes the bag with a shot into the empty goal. HC Pustertal – Pioneers Vorarlberg 3:1 HCP: Smith (Sholl); Spencer-Glira, Willcox-Ege, March-Kristensen, Newhouse; Ahl-Archambault-Roy, Sanna-Berger-Spinel, Hannoun-Andergassen-Bardaro, Deluca-Luchuk-Mantinger.
