The Wolves presented themselves to this game without the presence of David Laner, Maximilan Lancsar and Thomas Erlacher. The match was played straight away by the two teams but minutes after minutes the formation of the home increased in rhythm and goal opportunities. The first goal was of Eric Johansson after seven minutes of play. The forward was free in the front of the ECB net as he put in the net a short rebound of the opposing goalkeeper. Bruneck played but they were no longer able to score other goals as they defended well against the opponents' powerplay. Then during the second period, the game was decided. The Pustertal after so many efforts doubled in the middle with a mid-distance shot by Lukas Tauber. The last minutes of the second period were played a bit nervous by the Austrians who were penalized. The Wolves made in powerplay the third goal with Eric Pance at the end of a fast action. Then in the last minute of second period play it there was only Bruneck on the field with two goals in only 44 seconds. Sean Ringrose - always in powerplay – score and then there iwas the solitary descent of Armin Hofer. The Wolves closed the second period to the advantage of 5: 0 and with the game already in the pocket. In fact, in the third time, the sixth goal of the yellowblack arrived after two minutes with Nathan Di Casmirro. Then Bruneck menaged the game without any hesitation.

During the second period the home lost for injury Johansson and Danny Elliscasis. 

 

The home team started as a rocket. The home team shooted many times to the Polar Bears net. But the first goal of the evening was for Austrian side. Fabian Scholz took the leader after four minutes. But the Gherdeina tonight was very determined and very continuous in his game. The draw came in the middle of the period and after a minor double penalty to Derek Eastman. Simon Pitschieler made the draw after a great play of assisting by David Roupec and Linus Lundstrom. Then the Furie's many efforts were rewarded with two goals in just 20 seconds thanks to the great work of the second line (Pitschieler-Demetz-Kostner). The 3th goal was scored by Benjamin Kostner and then by Ivan Demetz. The Gherdeina continued its very strong game and the visitors didn't have breath.
