Despite bankruptcy in Székesfehérvár: Foxes win play-off ticket

New signing Luoma made his debut at HCB, but Marchetti had to go to the stands. In the first two sections, both teams did not cover each other with glory; the 3300 spectators were treated to meager ice hockey fare. There were few chances.

That changed drastically at the beginning of the last third. Fehervar increased the number of hits and took the lead 1-0 after a tussle by Bodo. As a result, HCB goalie Melichercik had to play the rescuer several times and kept his team on track.

Gander equalizes, Vallerand takes the lead His offensive colleagues thanked him later: After 49 minutes, Egger took heart and hammered from the blue line towards the Fehervar box. The shot was deflected by Gander and found its way into the goal. The Foxes were buoyed by the equalizer and turned the result on its head just a few moments later when the puck came to Vallerand after a face-off, who effortlessly hammered the puck into the net. But the joy didn't last long: 88 seconds later, Gander had just sat down in the cooler when Fehervar equalized. It stayed that way.

In extra time the game was on a knife's edge, Bozen was unable to take advantage of its superiority. That's why the decision was made in the penalty shootout, where Vallerand, Reid and Bernard showed nerves for the Foxes, while Fehervar-Crack Koger stayed cool and gave his team the extra point.

So in 2017, Bolzano hasn't won a game yet. Nevertheless, the Foxes can no longer be pushed out of the top 6 as Znojmo lost to Innsbruck.
