Serie A: The Wolves are on the verge of elimination after their third defeat

Playoff Semifinals, Game 3:

Wolves Fiat Professional- Migross Supermercati Asiago 2:6 (1:4, 0:0, 1:2)

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

Migross Supermercati Asiago: Tyler Plante (Alessandro Tura); Daniel Sullivan, Enrico Miglioranzi, Jeremy Rebek, Stefano Marchetti, Michele Strazzabosco, Lorenzo Casetti, Michele Stevan, Enrico Pesavento; Chris DiDomenico, Layne Ulmer, Sean Bentivoglio, Matteo Tessari, Dave Borrelli, Federico Benetti, Nicola Tessari, Luca Rigoni, Mirko Presti Coach: John Parco

Gates: 0:1 Layne Ulmer (0.35), 1:1 Joe Jensen (5.44), 1:2 Michele Strazzabosco (9.05), 1:3 Layne Ulmer (14.10), 1:4 Layne Ulmer (15.42), 1:5 Sean Bentivolgio (43.41), 1:6 Layne Ulmer (49.01), 2:6 Thomas Erlacher (59.11)

Asiago's rise continues. The Parco team prevailed in Bruneck for the second time and is only one step away from the final. Wolves coach Paul Adey tried to counteract the negative trend with some team changes before the match. Pat Kavanagh took Rok Pajic's place, while Danny Eliscassis returned to defense. On the other side, Paul Zanette was missing, with Jeremy Rebek taking his place in attack. Asiago's parade block struck immediately, as Ulmer scored after just 35 seconds. It was his eleventh goal in these playoffs. The Pusterers were shocked, but quickly collected themselves and equalized in the sixth minute. Oberrauch's shot was only briefly deflected by Plante and Jensen made the save. But this didn't upset Asiago, on the contrary. When 9.05:92 minutes had been played, the guests took advantage of the first power play opportunity and Michele Strazzabosco put the club from Veneto back in the lead. But that's not enough. A little later, within 32 seconds, Layne Ulmer made the preliminary decision. First, Chris DiDomenico served the goal-guarantor Ulmer perfectly, who gave JS Aubin the loss for the third time. The 4-year-old Canadian attacker then made it 1-13 after a nice individual move. It was Ulmer's third goal of the evening, the 44th in the knockout phase. Helfer & Co. were paralyzed at the beginning of the middle third and acted very uncertainly. Even with one more man, the home side were not dangerous. Asiago controlled the game and made it clear that it could step up a gear and strike at any time. In the final stages of the second period, Tyler Plante stood out with a great effort on an opportunity for Pat Iannone. In the third period, Iannone had another chance, which Plante again ruined. Asiago then caused the hosts to finally break their necks. Bentivoglio made it 5-1 in the 49.01th minute with the advantage (Oberrauch was in the penalty box), before the irresistible Ulmer scored for the sixth time (49). XNUMX seconds before the siren, Thomas Erlacher at least made the result cosmetic.

HC Valpellice Bodino Engineering - Hafro Cortina 1:4 (0:0, 1:2, 0:2)

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

Hafro Cortina: JP Levasseur (Renè Baur); Paul Albers, Darrell Hay, Luca Zandonella, David Bowman, Michele Zanatta, Luca Zanatta; Giorgio De Bettin, Luca Felicetti, Erik Weissmann, Derek Edwardson, Ryan Dingle, Stanislav Gron, Andrea Moser, Francesco Adami, Christian Menardi Coach: Clayton Beddoes

Gates: 1:0 Brian Ihnacak (21.52), 1:1 Giorgio De Bettin (29.53), 1:2 Ryan Dingle (38.47), 1:3 Luca Felicetti (40.42), 1:4 Stanislav Gron (58.14)

Hafro Cortina bounced back on Tuesday evening after two defeats and reduced the series to 1:2. The Ampezzo team won 4-1 after a strong performance. As far as the teams were concerned, there was only one change compared to the second game. Jaroslav Spelda played for Valpellice, Paul Baier had to go to the stands as a supernumerary foreigner. After a phase in which both teams felt each other out, Jaroslav Spelda had the first opportunity with a long-range shot, which Levasseur destroyed. Even after that, the Ampezzan goalkeeper was the center of attention when he first distinguished himself on Alex Silva and only moments later was the winner against Ralph Intranuovo. Cortina only had their first chance towards the middle of the first third when Luca Felicetti tested Valpe goalie Parise for the first time. In the final phase, Anthony Aquino for the home team and Felicetti again for Cortina missed two top-class goals. The first goal of the evening came in the 22nd minute when Brian Ihnacak was brilliantly cleared by DiCasmirro and scored from close range for the home team. The Beddoes team responded immediately, but Jordan Parise replaced Stanislav Gron and Luca Zandonella when possible. After less than half an hour, Giorgio De Bettin equalized when Stanislav Gron ideally placed the puck on him. The match then remained very evenly matched before the guests took the lead in the final phase of the second third. Zanatta took the shot and Dingle deflected the target unstoppable. But things were to get even better for the Ampezzans. Only 42 seconds had been played in the final third when Luca Felicetti made it 3-1. A victory was now within reach for Cortina. As a result, Valpellice pressed vehemently for the next goal, but the home team was unable to score. Ihnacak had the best chance, then Intranuovo failed. After 58.14 minutes, the strong Stanislav Gron on the other side made the final decision 4-1.
