Serie A: The playoff semi-finals go into the second round

HC Alleghe Tegola Canadese - Fiat Professional Wolves The first win in the best-of-seven series went to Pustertal, but Alleghe showed in yesterday's game that they will make things anything but easy for their opponents. After various missed chances from the guests, the Wolves finally won the home game and took a 1-0 lead in the series.

The Red and Whites want to strike back in front of their own fans tomorrow. The decisive factor will be the performance of goalkeeper Adam Dennis, who already demonstrated his skills in yesterday's game. It is also uncertain whether Card, who is injured, will return to the team. Adam Henrich, who is suspended for one game, is missing from the attack. Coach McKenna will probably also have to do without Alberto Fontanive.

Pustertal, on the other hand, will be able to make full use of it. After conceding two goals yesterday in the first minutes of the starting third, the Wolves showed a strong performance and turned the game in their favor. David Ling in particular is currently in impressive form. There are unlikely to be any changes in the Wolves' line-up, so defender Persson will probably have to sit in the stands again as a supernumerary foreigner.

Hafro SG Cortina - HC Bozen

The 60 minutes of the first semi-final game between HC Bozen and Cortina promise an extremely exciting match tomorrow too. Ryan Menei's two goals were not enough to win the Bolzano ice wave. Coach Stefan Mair's team wants to take revenge for the narrow 2:3 defeat on Thursday and level the series at 1:1.

Mair is particularly relying on goalie JP Levasseur, who proved in yesterday's game that he is one of the best goalkeepers in Italian ice hockey. But Cortina needs to make better use of the power play because yesterday the Ampezzan team were unable to capitalize on any of their four opportunities. The Cortinese team will still be missing the injured Luca Zanatta, and a foreigner will also have to go to the stands.

Yesterday at Bozen the third line in particular showed an incredible performance. In defense, however, Adolf Insam's team must avoid mistakes like Menei's first goal if they want to survive in Cortina. In addition to Josh Meyers and Derek Edwardson, the use of Stefan Zisser is uncertain.

The match Hafro SG Cortina - HC Bozen will be broadcast on Rai Sport 20.25 from 1:XNUMX p.m. It is also possible to follow the game on the Internet at www.raisport.rai.it right click on “Guarda in diretta Rai Sport Uno”.
