After the clear 2:7 away defeat in Wolfsburg, HK SZ Olimpija wanted to take revenge in front of their home crowd on Saturday. But the Slovenians could hardly set offensive accents in the first period and the DEL representative took the lead in the 17th minute. In the middle period, the Slovenians were on an equal footing, but the equalizer did not come. The preliminary decision in favor of the Germans was made by a double strike within one and a half minutes. Olimpija tried everything again in the third period, but the hosts failed to score. In the end, Wolfsburg won 4:0 at the Tivoli.

Féhervár again defeated by Zurich

Hydro Fehérvár AV19 was the guest of ZSC Lions Zürich in the fourth CHL group game. As in the first leg, the Swiss took an early lead. In the following game, the Hungarians had chances thanks to three powerplay opportunities, but the equalizer was not to be found. In the 40th minute of the game, Anže Kuralt scored after a nice combination to make it 1:1. Féhervár quickly lost the momentum, as Zurich took the lead again in the third period and even went up to 3:1 in the 51st minute. The runner-up from the win2day ICE Hockey League tried everything, but conceded two more empty-net goals to make it 5:1.

 


Pustertal takes title with brilliant derby win

The first leg of the Alperia Cup at the Intercable Arena ended with a narrow 4:3 victory of HCB Südtirol Alperia against HC Pustertal. The team from Bolzano actually had the better cards in the second leg at the home Sparkasse Arena on Saturday, but in the end had to admit defeat clearly. The guests from Bruneck were very efficient and went into the first break with a 3:0 lead after goals from Ahl, Roy and Newhouse. The HCB failed to come back and the guests even pulled away to 5:0 (goals Cianfrone, Luchuk PP1) until the second period break. Pustertal's neo-captain Raphael Andergassen provided the final point and a clear 6:0 away victory for the "Wolves", who thus also secured the win of the Alperia Cup.

Defeats for Caps and Graz

The Moser Medical Graz99ers met České Budějovice in the match for third place at the Energie Steiermark Trophy. After less than three minutes the Styrians were caught ice cold. The Czechs kept up the pressure and increased the lead to 0:2 in minute eleven. Shortly before the end of the period youngster Kevin Pesendorfer was able to reduce the lead to 1:2 after a nice pass from Michael Boivin. In the middle period, the guests restored the two-goal lead on the power play. The 99ers were a bit shocked and had to accept the 1:4 only a little later. At the beginning of the final period, České Budějovice scored the fifth goal and thus the preliminary decision. Graz did not give up and played their best ice hockey in the last ten minutes. After a nice pass from Erik Kirchschläger, Tobias Fladeby scored with an onetimer for the final score of 2:5. The tournament victory at the Energie Steiermark Trophy went to Adler Mannheim.

The spusu Vienna Capitals also lost their last game of the pre-season. In the only home game of the preparation, the Caps lost to the Augsburg Panthers from the DEL with 1:3. After a starting offensive of the Viennese, the guests proved to be efficient and pulled away to 0:2. After a goalless middle period, Augsburg even scored the third goal on the power play. The consolation goal for the Viennese was scored by Jérémy Gregoire (58th), who put a rebound in the net.
