The Alps Hockey League finals 2018 between Migross Supermercati Asiago Hockey 1935 (1) and Champion Rittner Buam (2) continue best of five in Asiago on Friday. The first two final-games resulted in home-wins. In each match, the winning team has scored in total three goals. The „Yellow-Reds“ won final game 1 at home 3:0 and the Champion responded with a 3:2-Overtime-home-win in game 2 on Wednesday. The Rittner Buam netted two Power Play goals in final 2. Usually, the Power Play is one of the big strengths of the „Yellow-Reds“: The team of Tom Barrasso has had a Power Play% of 30.0 this season and of 40.0 in the Playoffs! But, in the finals Asiago couldn‘t embarrass Rittens’ Penalty Killing Units so far: Bardaro and Co. have netted just one goal from eight Power Plays against the Leagues‘ best PK Units (RIT PK%: 86.1).
Now, the finals will continue best of five in Asiago on Friday. The Yellow Reds have been convincing at home lately: Bardaro and Co. have won 17 straight home-games and two consecutive home-games against the Rittner Buam as well. But watch out: The Champion has won all Playoff series in the Alps Hockey League so far and has been successful in all (five) series in a game 3.
