Shutout win against Villach: The HCB reaches for third place

Coach Tom Pokel's team, who once again had to make do without the injured Markus Gander, started extremely powerful straight away and literally took the lead with the first chance. After Brodie Reid failed at VSV goalie Roy, the in-form Luca Frigo poked the puck over the line. After that, the guests had more of the game, but the HCB remained more dangerous, increasing the score to 16-2 with its save block in the 0th minute. Nick Palmieri used a pass from Glen Metropolit to make it 2-0. At the end of the first third, the guests missed the goal when Sam Lebrecque hit the post, and Michele Marchetti hit the post in direct return.

The same picture in the second half of the game: Villach tried hard, but didn't manage to snatch the scepter out of HCB's hands. Apart from Hunter's shot hitting the corner of the cross, the Foxes were never in real danger of giving up the lead. Also because Marcel Melichercik represented an almost insurmountable obstacle for the opposing offensive lines.

As the game continued, Villach finally lost its strength and the HCB now had an easy time of it at times. At the beginning of the final third, Marco Insam played the puck in front of the VSV goal and goalkeeper Roy guided the hard rubber disc with his pad over the line. It was the preliminary decision in a one-sided third period. The final point was finally set by top scorer Brodie Ried, who made it 15-4 in the final minute with his 0th goal of the season. He and goalkeeper Malichercik were the celebrated cracks in the ice wave after the final siren.
