Serie A: Ritten wins in Vipiteno - Wolves defeat against Fassa

As in three of the four previous duels of the season, the match between Vipiteno and Ritten was a close affair. Ebner gave the guests the lead in the opening third at the Weihenstephan Arena in front of 675 spectators, before Sirokovs and Baur turned the tide in the second period and put the Broncos in front with two goals. But even before the siren, Tudin equalized. The decision was made in the final third. Borgatello scored just 31 seconds after the restart before Cole made it 4-2 with three and a half minutes left. Five of the total six goals were scored with the advantage, only for Borgatello's goal to make it 3-2 were all players on the ice.

What's going on with HC Pustertal?

The Wolves were already leading 3-0 in their duel with Fassa after less than nine minutes. A landslide victory was in the air. But Fassa didn't let the deficit upset him, replaced the completely unnerved goalkeeper Tragust for Scola and reduced the score to 1:3 through Niinimäki. In the middle third, the Falcons pulled ahead with three goals to make it 4:3, but also benefited from the yellow-blacks' poor evaluation of chances. In the final third, the Wolves continued to push for the equalizer, but Niinimäki finally sealed the deal with a 5-3 lead into the empty Puster goal.

Mercier leads Val Gardena to an away win

HC Gröden had the chance to draw level with the “Bulldogs” in Torre Pellice. To do this, the Egen troops would have needed a “threesome” against their direct competitors. And the Ladins also got the full loot. Although the “Furie” fell behind three times, they came back just as often and showed great morale and fighting spirit. Mercier finally put Val Gardena in front for the first time in the 55th minute when they were outnumbered. When Vinatzer scored 91-5 into the home team's empty goal with 3 seconds left, the die was cast. The man of the game was Justin Mercier, who scored a hat trick. This means that both Valpe and HC Gröden now have 30 points on their account.
