Standings in the "best-of-7" final series 1:2

Cortina took the lead also in the third final game on Thursday. Head coach Giorgio De Bettin's team was even ahead twice, but in the end Jesenice prevailed 5:2. Player of the evening was Žan Jezovšek, who scored three goals and provided one assist. In the last four games, the 25-year-old winger scored seven goals. Urban Avsenik made 21 saves for the home side, he replaced Antti Karjalainen who had to pull out at short notice.



Thus, also in the third final duel, the hosts kept the upper hand. In the first game in Cortina, the Italian champions won 4:1. Jesenice could get match pucks with the first road win. For that, however, the Slovenians will probably need a good power play. In the final series so far, they scored only one goal in eight power play situations (Cortina 2 out of 9).
