HCP kidnaps point from Hungary

In the iconic, cold hall in Stuhlweißenburg, where the Wolves also lost out in their first guest appearance in September, the HCP unfortunately lost 4:5 after extra time after a strong performance.

Luciano Basile's men delivered a test of character and put the Hungarians under a lot of pressure over long periods of the game. After the return of Jakob Stukel and Anthony Bardaro, the Wolves coach changed his lines again and the changes certainly bore fruit offensively.

Fehervar only competed with three lines, but showed time and time again why it had so far won 16 of 21 points at home and knew how to take advantage of Pustertal's mistakes. The two HCP goals conceded in the middle section were unnecessary and brought the Hungarians back into the game. In the furious first minutes of the final period, the teams set off ice hockey fireworks and partially abandoned their tactical guidelines. In extra time, the experienced Andrew Sarauer skillfully scored to secure the Hungarian victory.

At the match in Linz on Saturday it is now important to score points again and take additional motivation with you into the ten-day IIHF break. Highlights In the starting third, which was characterized by penalties, Shane Hanna struck in the power play with a powerful shot from a central position (7th). Fehervar uses his first power play when the penalty time has expired through Anze Kuralt (13th). The initially balanced middle section leads to the home team taking the lead after the Puster defense cannot break free (27th). The guests respond with a burst of energy from the strong Tommaso Traversa (30th), who makes optimal use of goalscorer Dante Hannoun. After 35 minutes, Andrew Sarauer goes solo behind the goal. Zach Budish sleeps and Tomas Sholl is caught cold at the near corner. At the start of the final third, Jakob Stukel fooled the entire Hungarian backline with a world-class solo effort. On the other side, Kuralt hits the cross corner with a slap shot. Things are now going haywire: Mathias Mantinger equalizes again after a quick counterattack (44'). In extra time, Sarauer scores again, hammering a direct shot into the net when he is in the majority.
