Capitals equalize the series with a home win against Bolzano

–

Thanks to a 2: 1 success against HCB Südtirol in the “best of seven” semi-annual series of the ICE Hockey League, the Vienna Capitals equalized 1: 1. The third match will follow on Thursday (live on Sky Sport Austria 2 from 7 p.m.).

The Viennese turned the match against Bolzano, who had recently won twice in Vienna. Daniel Frank put the guests in the lead 69 seconds before the end of the first period, but Jerome Leduc equalized shortly before the end of the middle section (40th). The defender surprised HCB goalie Leland Irving. Benjamin Nissner (50th) scored the winning goal for the debut in the series, who – alone in front of Irving – carried the puck over the line in the second attempt. In the eighth duel of the season, only one goal made the difference between the two teams for the sixth time.
