Alps Hockey League | Pre-Playoffs | Monday, 22nd March 2021:
Mo, 22.03.2021, 8.00 pm: EC Bregenzerwald – S.G. Cortina Hafro
„best-of-3“ pre-playoffs series: 0:1
Referees: HUBER A., SCHAUER, Eisl, Wimmler. | >> PPV-Livestream <<
S.G. Cortina Hafro created a good starting position for reaching the quarterfinals in the pre-playoff of the Alps Hockey League on Saturday: Thanks to Chad Pietroniro, the fifth-placed team after regular season prevailed 3:2 in the first game of the "best-of-3" series. Pietroniro scored the game-winner two minutes before the end to complete his brace. For Cortina it was the fifth win in a row, the sixth consecutive on home ice. A strong performance was also delivered by goalkeeper Marco De Filippo, who recorded 34 saves. To the already thinned out line-up of the Vorarlberger could be added on Monday further injury-related absences: Captain Daniel Ban and Felix Vonbun might not be ready. Cortina has won its last four games at ECB. The last home win of the "Wälder" was more than four years ago (6:4 | 25.01.2017). Julian Zwerger (ECB) and Luca Barnabo (SGC) will miss game two due to a one-game suspension.
