Overtime defeat against Graz: Foxes give away victory

The situation is getting worse: Bolzano is and remains at the bottom of the league. Against Graz, in front of over 2000 spectators in the ice wave, the Foxes were 55.23-2 up until the 1 minute mark and also missed numerous chances to make the decision. But then the guests struck ice cold, first equalizing through Unterweger and then grabbing the extra point in extra time with a Higgs goal. The defeat is also bitter because Bolzano dominated the game, as the shooting statistics of 46:27 prove.

DeSousa in a double pack The HCB was the more active team right from the start and presented itself at its best, especially in the transition game. So it wasn't surprising that the 1-0 result came from a quick counterattack: Frank was sent on his way, had an eye for DeSousa, who stayed ice-cold and put the disc in the net (15th). The Foxes almost deprived themselves of the rewards they deserved in the first half, but the Graz team were unable to take advantage of a blackout from Marchetti, who played directly into Buzzeo's stick in his own third.

In the second period, the Foxes' superiority became even more blatant, which is supported by the Foxes' shooting statistics of 25:9 - even though they had to accept the equalizer after 46 seconds. After a mistake by the HCB, Setzinger got through to the left and played into the middle, where Zusevics was in the right position and made it 1-1. However, Curcio's protégés didn't let this throw them off course and promptly restored the old distance: Once again it was DeSousa who was there when a rebound was made. Afterwards, Halmo and Sointu narrowly missed the third goal with a hit on the crossbar each. The same pace continued in the third period, where Oleksuk, DeSousa and Frank cut their teeth on the outstanding Graz goalie Toivonen. The rest is known.
