Ice hockey: Capitals win without glamor

In the end, the Capitals celebrated a not quite as certain victory as expected at the Black Wings 1992 in Linz. Goals by Mario Fischer (17th) and after a double strike by Ty Loney (28th) and Julian Großlercher (29th) ensured a comfortable lead at the bottom. Oskar Bartulis reduced the score to 1: 3 in the 42nd minute.

After a good phase for the Viennese, Bartulis almost scored the next goal, but he only hit the crossbar in the 53rd minute. Only Stefan Freunschlag made the match even more exciting and scored 2: 3 in the 56th. The Upper Austrians could not prevent the fifth victory of the Viennese en suite.

Schütz redeems Salzburg

The duel for fifth place in the table between the Dornbirn Bulldogs and EC Red Bull Salzburg was also balanced. However, Vorarlberg were initially on the road to victory: hits by Matthew Mackenzie (18th) and Kevin Macierzynski (25th) brought Dornbirn 2-0 lead, but John Hughes in the power play in the 27th minute and Thomas Raffl also in the majority game shortly before the end of the second period of the game made for a 2-2 before the final third.

Outnumbered, Justin Schütz then gave the “Bulls” the lead in the 56th minute. It should be the gold hit for Salzburg, who are now three points ahead of Dornbirn.

VSV wins stragglers duel

In the duel of the stragglers between VSV and Graz, the Carinthians suffered the next narrow defeat. Most recently, the VSV lost the Carinthian derby against the KAC, which was free of play on Tuesday, 3: 4. The home team’s opening goal by Chris Collins (3rd) was immediately equalized by ex-VSV man Adis Alagic by shorthand.

In the 25th minute, the Graz team took the lead through Johan Porsberger, but eight minutes later Sahir Gill made it 2-2 for the Villachers. Ken Ograjensek put the Styrians in the front again in the 46th minute. While the Grazers managed to take revenge for their home defeat, the Villachers had to reproach themselves with many unused opportunities.

Bolzano continues home series

Table leader HCB Südtirol was ultimately not naked against the “Haie” from Innsbruck. In the fight against the eighth, the Bozener continued their great home series, the Innsbrucker conceded their seventh defeat in a row. Hits by Simon Pitschieler (3rd) and Dennis Robertson (23rd) fell for the home side, whose victory could have been much higher.
