Toothless Foxes spoil their captain's anniversary

Suikkanen had to make do in his first home game without the injured Austin Smith, Anton Bernard, Luca Frigo, Daniel Frank, Mat Clark and Matt Climie. He therefore only had three lines available. Nevertheless, the “Füchse” played courageously forward from the start. Mike Halmo and Co. repeatedly failed with their quick counter-attacks against former HCB goalie Tomas Duba. Foiled on the other side Jakub Sedlacek in his last game for Bozen the few degrees of the KAC cracks. After that the game became increasingly flat.

It wasn't until the middle of the second period that things really got going, when Bozen increased the pace a bit and created two really good chances to score in their first power play. Halmo and Matias Sointu missed the target. Mike Angelidis then had to go down for four minutes after a cross-check, but the HCB defense survived this difficult phase unscathed. Shortly before the second break, Daniel Glira had a great chance to make it 1-0, but he shot over the goal after excellent preparatory work from Sointu.

Even after the second break, the South Tyroleans were the more active team. However, the “Red Jackets” from Wörthersee broke the goal spell: After Sedlacek let a long-range shot from Manuel Geier bounce briefly, he was there again, rounded the goalie and pushed in to make it 1-0. Despite this cold shower, the Foxes didn't seem at all frightened. They tried with all their resources to restrict the opponent in their third - but were only partially successful. Due to their lack of accuracy, they deprived themselves of the wages they deserved. So it was up to the KAC to ensure the final point: Johannes Bischofberger made the final score 2-0 with a shot into the now empty HCB goal.
