Victory in the Tyrolean derby: Bolzano consolidates fourth place in the table

In front of around 4000 spectators in the Bolzano Eiswelle, however, it was the guests who got off to a perfect start: after a blocked shot, Smith was in the right place and scored to give Innsbruck an early lead (2nd). However, the 1-0 lead for the “Haie” only lasted a few minutes, because less than 180 seconds later Bernard made it 1-1 after a strong pass from Insam. As a result, the people of Bolzano took the reins into their own hands and rewarded themselves with a 2-1 lead. This time Insam was there as the goalscorer. With the lead behind them, the HCB created further opportunities. Kearney and Oleksuk made ideal use of two of them in the first 20 minutes - the “Foxes” took a comfortable 4-1 lead by the first break.

Things got even better for the home team in the middle period: Kearney scored his personal brace and increased the lead to 5:1. But the match was far from over, as Smith immediately reduced the score to 2:5. A little later, Innsbruck even made it 3:5 through Sedivy. The game was suddenly open again - it went back and forth, with the people of Bolzano being able to thank goalie Melichercik again and again. Because while the HCB left several top-class players and a double majority unused at the front, the Slovak goalkeeper made some strong saves in the Bolzano goal and thus maintained the two-goal lead.

At the beginning of the last 20 minutes, the “Foxes” once again played with two more men on the ice, but were again unable to capitalize on it. Innsbruck then pushed for the fourth goal, but failed several times due to Melichercik's brilliant response. When Seymour received Bolzano's first penalty of the evening six and a half minutes before the end, the time had come: Lammers gave the Bolzano goalkeeper the disadvantage with a well-placed shot and made it 4:5. The “Sharks” threw everything forward in the final moments - but instead of the equalizer, the HCB made the deciding score 6:4. This worried top scorer Reid, who scored into the empty goal and thus put the final point in a game full of ups and downs.
