Suikkanen causes Bozen to stumble

HC Bozen was temporarily behind the Bulldogs 1:3, but took control of the game in overtime and finally deservedly won 4:3. Dennis Robertson secured the two points for the South Tyroleans with his sudden death goal and at the same time secured them remaining in second place, although the HCB now has to share this with the Vienna Capitals.

HCB scores 3 times in the majority In the away game in Vorarlberg, the Foxes again had to make do without Brett Flemming, Ivan Tauferer and the still not fully operational Dan Catenacci, while 218-time NHL player Keaton Ellerby made his debut with the Bulldogs. Although he and his teammates acted extremely harmlessly in the first third, they were the ones who took the lead after 10 minutes through Kevin Marcierzynski. However, Bolzano's top scorer Sebastien Sylvestre had the right answer and made it 1-1 with a wrist shot in the power play. However, the stalemate only lasted 42 seconds before Juhani Tamminen put Dornbirn in front for the second time with the second goal chance of the game.

The Bulldogs even extended their lead at the beginning of the middle period when Stefan Häußle, who was unguarded in the slot, increased the lead to 3-1. However, this new blow to the neck did not bother Bolzano. After great chances from Colton Hargrove, Sylvestre and Anthony Bardaro were missed, the Beddoes protégés scored twice after half the game: In the 34th minute, Anthony Bardaro let an opponent out and put the puck in the net, 5 turns of the pointer later Anton Bernard scored long corner. As with the 1-0 win, the HCB also had the majority in these two goals.

After the second break, a duel on a knife's edge developed in which Dornbirn suddenly had a slight advantage on the field, but Bozen continued to have the better chances. However, nothing more happened on the scoreboard until the 60th minute and so both teams had to go into extra time. This was just 48 seconds old when the advanced Dennis Robertson hammered the disc into the net to make it 4:3. The Foxes started their journey home from the country with the extra point in their luggage. Big worries about top scorer Sylvestre But there was still a small downer in the end: Sylvestre, who was still so strong today, disappeared into the catacombs of the exhibition stadium before the end of the game with his face distorted in pain. He suffered a shoulder injury and will probably miss the home double against Linz (Sunday) and Fehervar (Tuesday). He will be examined more closely on Saturday.

Suikkanen causes Bozen to stumble

The reunion with his master coach from 2018 was not an easy one for HCB Südtirol Alperia: Kai Suikkanen took a point from his former club at the bottom of the table, Dornbirn. But Bozen defended second place in the table - also because the Foxes hit the mark in all of their power plays.
