With a lot of fighting heart: Foxes get Kellerkind out of the way

HC Bozen was behind 0-3 against the second-to-last team from Vorarlberg until the final phase, but then suddenly turned up the heat and managed a 4-3 overtime victory. The second place in the table is therefore consolidated.

Simon Pitschieler, Luca Frigo and Dylan Di Perna had to watch the ice wave, with Gabriele Parini initially taking center stage, who was brought from Asiago just the day before . He was allowed to make his debut in the starting third, but received a nasty check to the head on his second shift. Although he remained uninjured, he was no longer able to play.

Parini watched from the bench as his new teammates gave the almost 1700 spectators an unimaginative and listless performance. Coach Greg Ireland seemed helpless. He first completely rebuilt the defensive blocks in the first third break, and then finally the offensive lines in the second long break. However, the turnaround was not achieved through playful accents, but rather with tireless effort and the personal union of double goalscorer Dustin Gazley, the in-form Mike Halmo and defensive driver Mathew Maione. They led the HCB from 0:3 to 3:3 in the final minutes of the game before Keegan Lowe secured the extra point in extra time. <a data-fancybox="gallery-test" class="spn-fancybox uk-inline first" href="https://s3-images.sportnews.bz/_images/scale/1400x800/img/2022/01/dustin-gazley-brett-findlay-und-der-hcb-rieben-sich-in-zweikaempfe-auf-anstatt-spielerische-glanzlichter-zu-setzen.jpg" data-caption="Dustin Gazley, Brett Findlay und der HCB rieben sich in Zweikämpfe auf, anstatt spielerische Glanzlichter zu setzen. © VANNA ANTONELLO" data-type="image">

The key scenes Maione against boredom HCB defender Maione puts the puck on the edge of the goal (18th). It's the only excitement in the starting third. Plastino is sleeping Kevin Hankock sneaks away behind Nick Plastino, receives the disc at the far corner and converts it to make it 1-0 for the guests (21st). Beck, oh horror DEC crack Colton Beck strikes twice: first he scores after a rebound (42nd), a little later he shoots the puck onto the stick of the lying HCB goalie Justin Fazio and from there it jumps over to make it 0:3 Line (47th) HCB can do it Dustin Gazley scores from the slot and begins Bolzano's best phase of the entire game (48th). Just 5 minutes later, Plastino hammers the puck under the bar – 2:3. Compensation! Who would have thought? The HCB turns the tables within 7 minutes. Maione plays brilliantly to Gazley, who shoots - and suddenly it's 3-3. Lowe does it In overtime, Keegan Lowe is there after a Findlay finish and somehow gets the disc over the line. After viewing the video images for several minutes, Bolzano's winning goal was scored to make it 4-3 (64'). The Foxes will have their next appearance - if Corona allows it - next Sunday away from champions Klagenfurt. The home game against Linz would then be on the program for HC Pustertal, However, both teams currently have several infected players in their ranks.
