Innsbruck sharks bite the Foxes six times

The “Tyrolean Hydropower Arena” in the Innsbruck Olympic Center, which was filled to bursting today, remains enchanted for the HCB this season. After the spectacular 7:8 defeat at the start of the season, the White-Reds once again lost out to their neighbors in the table. In the rankings, Foxes slipped to fifth place before the home game against league leaders Linz (Sunday, 15.30:XNUMX p.m.).

As in the first meeting, the Innsbruck team were extremely efficient against the HCB, who had to make do without Gellert, Gander and the still injured Vallerant and Melichercik, and repeatedly created pinpricks with their quick counterattacks. This was also the case towards the end of the first third, when Andrew Clark and Lubomir Stach gave the Haie the lead with a double strike.

Oleksuk equalizes

However, the HCB seemed unimpressed by this. After the restart, the numerous Bolzano fans who had traveled across the Brenner Pass were treated to the same picture twice: the extremely strong Ryan Glenn looked for a shot from the blue line in the power play and Travis Oleksuk always steered the puck into the net without being able to stop it. With his brace, the Canadian brought the HCB back into the game.

Smith in a losing battle

However, the people of Bolzano once again carelessly gave up the scepter. With the fourth power play goal of the evening, Clark made it 3-2. A short time later, Hunter Bishop gave Jake Smith the fourth goal in the Bolzano goal. When John Lammers increased the score to 5:2 at the beginning of the final third, the Tyrolean derby was de facto decided. Ondrej Sedivy dealt the now visibly reeling “Füchsen” the death blow in the final phase. They now have to lick their wounds and replenish their strength reserves as quickly as possible in order to be ready for the top game on Sunday.
