Pustertal triumphs in the top game - Bolzano ends its mini-crisis

Fiat Professional Wolves: Jean Sebastien Aubin (Philipp Kosta), Keith Seabrook, Christian Mair, Armin Hofer, Christian Willeit, Armin Helfer, Daniel Glira, Danny Elliscasis; Ben Guitè, Max Oberrauch, Pat Kavanagh, Pat Iannone, Patrick Bona, Joe Cullen, Joe Jensen, Lukas Tauber, Lukas Crepaz, Viktor Schweitzer, Thomas Erlacher, Benno Obermair, Alex Obermair Coach: Paul Adey

Valpellice Bodino Engineering: Jordan Parise (Andrea Rivoira), Florian Runer, Andrea Schina, Trevor Johnson, Nick Anderson, Paul Baier, Martino Durand Varese; Marco Pozzi, Brodie Dupont, Stefano Coco, Nate DiCasmirro, Pietro Canale, Ralph Intranuovo, Alex Silva, Rob Sirianni, Brian Ihnacak, Anthony Aquino, Paolo Nicolao Coach: Mike Flanagan

Goals: 0:1 Brian Ihnacak (4.08), 1:1 Daniel Glira (7.29), 2:1 Lukas Crepaz (18.55), 3:1 Keith Seabrook (19.26), 4:1 Joe Jensen (30.07), 5:1 Patrick Bona (41.57), 5:2 Nate DiCasmirro (48.55), 6:2 Pat Kavanagh (55.12)

With a very strong performance in the top game against pursuers Valpelliche, the leader from Bruneck made the derby defeat at Ritten forget. The only thing that gave a boost was the fact that Jean Sebastian Aubin, who had recently been weakened by the flu, took his place between the posts again and Thomas Erlacher was available for the first time after his long injury break. Meanwhile, Valpe was able to rely on the recently suspended Anthony Aquino again, but Slavomir Tomko had to watch again. To the surprise of the HCP fans, the guests clearly dictated the game in the early stages and took advantage of one of the many chances to take the lead through Brian Ihnacak. After 4.08:0 minutes, he used a rebounded shot from Aquino. Shaken awake by the goal, the Wolves stormed towards the opponent's goal. With success, because Daniel Glira made up for the 1-7.29 deficit after 3:1 minutes with a shot from the fray. After Ralph Intranuovo missed the chance to take the Valpe lead again, the HCP pulled away to 5-1 with a quick brace from Lukas Crepaz and Keith Seabrook just before the first third siren. In the second third, Pustertal kept the pressure high, driven by several outnumbered situations. One of the many chances was taken by Joe Jensen. This beat goalie Parise for the fourth time. On the other hand, Johnson and Co. tried hard, but remained far too harmless. However, the Wolves' hunger for goals was far from satisfied. At the start of the final period, Patrick Bona rounded the opposing goal and pushed the puck over the line to make it 55.12-6. Nate DiCasmirro, a former HCP player, then took center stage. He rekindled a spark of hope for the Piedmontese with a power play goal. However, this was definitely wiped out after 2 minutes of the game when Pat Kavanagh also put his name on the top scorer list and provided the final highlight in the summit duel with a score of XNUMX:XNUMX.

Val di Fassa Ferrarini- Ritten Sport Renault Trucks 4:3 nP (1:0, 0:2, 2:1, 0:0)

Val di Fassa Ferrarini: Frank Doyle (Gianluca Vallini), David Turon, Jan Novak, Thomas Dantone, Christian Castlunger, Damiano Casagranda; Martin Castlunger, Stefano Margoni, Cesare Sottsass, Enrico Chelodi, Michele Marchetti, Luca Planchensteiner, Petr Kalus, Nicola Deluca, Jakub Sindel, Mattia Bernard, Massimo Valeruz. Mark Trottner, Gabriele Vieder, Coach: Miro Frycer

Ritten Sport Renault Trucks: Justin Pogge (Josef Niederstätter); Kevin Mitchell, TJ Kemp, Ingemar Gruber, Fabian Hackhofer, Ruben Rampazzo, Klaus Ploner; Dan Tudin, Ryan Ramsay, Greg Jacina, Domenico Perna, Emanuel Scelfo, Mathias Fauster, Rence Coassin, Lorenz Daccordo, Alexander Eisath, Thomas Spinell Coach: Rob Wilson

Goals: 1:0 Petr Kalus (0.23), 1:1 Domenico Perna (29.34), 1:2 Domenico Perna (36.50), 2:2 Stefano Margoni (40.11), 2:3 Dan Tudin (41.56), 3:3 David Turon (43.13); 4:3 decisive penalty: Petr Kalus

Fassa was without Greg Kuznik, who seriously injured his hand. In addition to the injured Markus Hafner and Matteo Rasom, Ritten also missed Alex Frei, who was out for a short time due to flu. Fassa got off to a lightning start and took the lead after just a few seconds: brilliantly cleared by Jan Novak and Jakub Sindel, Petr Kalus scored to make it 1-0. As a result, Ritten tried to find his way into the game, but his attempts were not successful. The tide only turned in the second third when Domenico Perna started his one-man show. He completed two quick counter-attacks in perfect goalscoring style. In both situations, Fassa made numerous outrageous mistakes. So it happened that Ritten suddenly went into the second break as the leader. In the final period, just 11 seconds passed before Stefano Margoni restored the tie. A little later Dan Tudin appeared. He was there after a rebound and scored to make it 3-2 for Ritten. In return, Fassa managed to equalize again: David Turon made it 3-3. After Fassa missed further good chances, both teams had to go into extra time. After Tudin and Jacina missed the best opportunities, the penalty shootout made the decision: Petr Kalus ultimately secured three points for Fassa.

Aquile Fvg Pontebba - HC Bozen 1:5 (0:1, 1:1, 0:3)

Aquile FVG Pontebba: Anthony Grieco (Simon Fabris); David Urquart, Peter De Gravisi, Miroslav Guren, Andrea Gorza, Andrea Ricca; Erik Weissman, Rok Pajic, Petr Sachl, Ettore Tartaglione, Patrick Rizzo, Andrea Rezzadore, Daniele Odoni, Ruben Zozzoli, Federico Demetz, Felice Giugliano, Denis Soravia, Nicoa Di Marco Coach: Murajlca Pajic

HC Bozen: Günther Hell (Massimo Camin); Alexander Egger, Daniel Fabris, Christian Borgatello, Andrea Ambrosi Hannes Oberdörfer; Mark McCutcheon, MacGregor Sharp, Ryan Flynn, Anton Bernard, Markus Gander, Marco Insam, Enrico Dorigatti, Stefan Zisser, Christian Walcher, Peter Wunderer, Federico Gilmozzi, Stefano Piva Coach: Brian McCutcheon

Goals: 0:1 Anton Bernard (1.24), 0:2 Mark McCutcheon (29.05), 1:2 Rok Pajic (37.44), 1:3 Andrea Ambrosi (47.01), 1:4 Ryan Flynn (56.47), 1:5 Enrico Dorigatti (57.26)

The record champions stopped their negative streak with a 5-1 away win at bottom-placed Pontebba. Brian McCutcheon relied on the exact same team that lost to Milan just 48 hours ago. New signing Andrea Gorza celebrated his debut at Pontebba. HC Bozen was clearly superior to its opponent for long stretches of the encounter and converted its higher share of the game after just 1.24 minutes: Anton Bernard took advantage of a commotion in front of Pontebba goalie Grieco to make it 1-0. The guests remained under pressure until Patrick Rizzo missed a great chance to equalize for Pontebba. After this moment of shock, the encounter developed again into a true HCB monologue. However, the Talferstadt team had to wait until half the game to score their second goal. They then launched a quick attack via Dorigatti and Sharp, which Mark McCutcheon finally completed to make it 2-0. Anyone who was expecting a shooting festival was soon proven wrong, because Pontebba was suddenly wide awake. Initially the home team was denied access after the video evidence was retrieved, but after 37.44 minutes a power-number situation led to 1-2 through Rok Pajic. In the final phase of the second third, visiting striker Ryan Flynn caused a stir with a hit on the crossbar. However, the preliminary decision was only postponed because the Friulians' hopes were definitely stifled in the final third. Andrea Ambrosi led Bozen to victory after a pass from Markus Gander. In the last minutes of the game, Flynn and the hard-working Enrico Dorigatti scored with their goals to ensure that the champions ultimately secured a confident victory.

Hafro Cortina- Migross Supemercati Asiago 5:6 aet (3:0, 2:3, 0:2, 0:1)

Hafro Cortina: Renè Baur (Luca Burzacca); Darrell Hay, Paul Albers, Luca Zandonella, Michele Zanatta, Gabriele Moretti, Luca Zanatta; Derek Edwardson, Stanislav Gron, Matt Siddall, Giorgio De Bettin, Luca Felicetti, Ryan Dingle, Francesco Adami, Christian Menardi, Andrea Moser, Andrea Baldo; Coach: Clayton Beddoes

Migross Supermercati Asiago: Josh Tordjman (Alessandro Tura), Enrico Miglioranzi, Michele Strazzabosco, Stefano Marchetti, Dan Sullivan; Nicola Tessari, Dave Borrelli, Mirko Presti, Luca Rigoni, Matteo Tessari, Michele Stevan, Layne Ulmer, Sean Bentivoglio, Federico Benetti, Chris Di Domenico, Paul Zanette, Josè Magnabosco Coach: John Parco

Goals: 1:0 Stanislav Gron (2.03), 2:0 Stanislav Gron (5.36), 3:0 Stanislav Gron (13.24), 3:1 Chris Di Domenico (24.17), 3:2 Sean Bentivoglio (32.40), 4: 2 Stanislav Gron (36.54), 5:2 Giorgio De Bettin (39.20), 5:3 Sean Bentivoglio (39.58), 5:4 Luca Rigoni (50.04), 5:5 Chris Di Domenico (59.12), 5:6 Layne Ulmer (60.22)

At Cortina, JP Levasseur had to watch again. Renè Baur took his place between the posts again. On the Asiago side, Davide Nicoletti had to pass, but former Cortina player Dan Sullivan returned to the squad. The first third was clearly dominated by Stanislav Guron. The home team's striker netted for the first time after just two minutes when he converted a rebound to make it 1-0. A few minutes later he was there again and, this time outnumbered, Tordjman lost out for the second time. But that wasn't enough, because before the first break the Cortina top scorer even increased the score to 3-0 after a great solo. In the middle section an open exchange of blows develops between both teams. Chris Di Domenico made it 1:3 after a great pass from Layne Ulmer, then Sean Bentivoglio reduced the score to 2:3 from close range. Asiago was without Stanislav Gron, who stole away again and scored his fourth goal. Shortly afterwards, Giorgio De Bettin restored the old three-goal lead. Two seconds before the third break, Sean Bentivoglio was allowed to play again. Asiago's hopes were further boosted by Luca Rigoni's goal. The last few minutes of the game had something of Alfred Hitchcock about it: Asiago was on the power play and without goalkeeper Tordjman when Di Domenico made it 5:5 in the last seconds. But it got even better, as Layne Ulmer completed Asiago's spectacular victory in extra time.

Alleghe Tegola Canadese - Milano Rossoblu 4:0 (1:0, 2:0, 1:0)

Alleghe Tegola Canadese: Adam Dennis (Davide Fontanive), Francesco De Biasio, Matt Waddell, Carlo Lorenzi, Nicholas Kuiper, Sean McMonagle, Luka Tosic, Diego Soppera, Kewin Adami, Milos Ganz, Soel Costantin; Jeff Lo Vecchio, Jonas Johansson, Vince Rocco, Manuel De Toni, Manuel Da Tos, Jari Monferone, Davide Testori, Patrick Tormen, Daniele Veggiato Coach: Tom Pokel

Milano Rossoblu: Andrew Raycroft (Paolo Della Bella), Alessandro Re, Andreas Lutz, Matt De Marchi, Marvin Degon, David Liffiton, Federico Betti, Francesco Borghi; Luca Ansoldi, Diego Iori, Edoardo Caletti, Manuel Lo Presti, Marcello Borghi, Tommaso Goi, Michael Mazzacane, Matt Ryan, Tommaso Migliore, Niccolò Latin; Coach: Massimo Da Rin

Goals: 1-0 Jari Monferone (18.41), 2-0 Manuel Da Tos (29.41), 3-0 Sean McMonagle (31.36), 4-0 Matt Waddell (53.19)

With a strong team performance, Alleghe was able to compensate for the absences of Alberto Fontanive, Gino Guyer and Nicla Fontanive. Sean McMonagle returned to the ice for the Bellunese. Meanwhile, Milan coach Massimo Da Rin was able to take full advantage. Alleghe managed to put the opponent on the defensive right from the start. The spectators had to wait until the 19th minute for the first goal, when Jari Monferone scored the overdue 1-0 for Alleghe. Afterwards, Raycroft was literally under constant fire. After Iori missed the chance to equalize, Da Tos used a power play to beat the former NHL player in the Lombard goal for the second time. Sean McMonagle definitely put Alleghe on the road to victory two minutes later. In the final third, the team from Veneto cleverly managed the lead and prevented the tired-looking Milanese from finding their way into the game. Matt Waddell scored the final point to make it 4-0.
