Italian Cup: Pustertal and Ritten move into the final round

HC Pustertal achieved its first big goal of the season and made it into the cup final round with a hard-fought 3:2 in Wolkenstein. The decisive factor for the Wolves' success was once again the outstanding offensive trio of Giulio Scandella, Max Oberrauch and Philp-Michael Devos. They literally dismantled HC Gherdeina single-handedly. It was Scandella and Oberrauch who put the HCP ahead 2-0 before Derek Eastman was able to equalize for the home team. In the final period, Scandella was there again after a pass from Devos and definitely put the Wolves on the road to victory. Justin Maylan's second goal for the Furie came too late.

Ritten wins even without Holt

Meanwhile, the Rittner Buam swept HC Eppan off the ice for the second time in three days with a real pack. After Thursday's 5:1, they won the second encounter in Überetsch 6:1. The champions had to do without their regular number one, Chris Holt. He has announced his departure from Ritten. Holt was well represented by 17-year-old Peter Trebenreif. However, the pirates rarely made life difficult for him. Rather, it was the Buam who clearly dictated the game. Eric Johansson, Dan Tudin and Patrick Rissmiller made the preliminary decision practically before the first break. Johansson and Rissmiller each scored again in the second period before Thomas Spinell even made it 6-0 in the final third. Eppan only had a consolation goal from Stefan Unterkofler seven seconds before the end.

In the other two quarter-final duels, Milan (against Asiago) and Valpellice (against Cortina) each won 2-0.
