Wolves exist in the shark tank

After the dismantling of Dornbirn On Tuesday, the concentrated Black and Yellows achieved a very conciliatory end to the year with a 4-2 win against the North Tyroleans.

The fast-starting opponents had not managed to score in their most recent defeats against Dornbirn and Bozen, but the bell rang in the derby in the opening minutes and an open exchange of blows developed as a result. The Innsbruck team, who are strong on the counterattack and equipped with prominent imports, were out of form recently and coach Mitch O'Keefe had thrown his lines through properly before the start of the game.

In the varied game, the Pusterers were once again able to rely on their two life insurance policies, the power play game and goalkeeper Tomas Sholl. The HCP players were compact in defense, while Jakob Stukel and Dante Hannoun stood out up front. The Black and Yellows also showed the offensive speed demanded by coach Raimo Helminen a few times. Highlights Instant action Zach Budish does a good job in front of the opposing goal and Mathias Mantinger can score (3rd). On the other side, Joel Messner from the Blues tries it and Thomas Mader deflects to make it 1-1. Lucky Punch In the quick first Wolves power play, the disc somehow gets to Jakob Stukel and he hits the empty goal. Sholl spectacle Dan Leavens drives alone towards the HCP goalkeeper, who makes a strong save and then makes a spectacular save from Tim McGauley's follow-up shot. 3 minutes later the US boy remains the winner of Michael Huntebrinker's penalty. Wolves ice cold At the beginning of the final third, Innsbruck missed a top-class player only to be immediately countered by Hannoun, Simon Berger and Stukel. Same key Again the HCI comes close thanks to a hidden shot from Daniel Jakubitzka (49th). The HCP reaction: Another counter-attack, which Johan Harju skillfully completed to make the decision (54th). At the same time, HC Bozen gave up its possible victory in Villach.

In the new year the HCP will meet on January 2.1nd. at home in Salzburg (18 p.m.), while Bolzano competes in Laibach at the same time.
