Baltram's brace puts Salzburg on the winning track
After three wins in a row, Salzburg started the sixth quarterfinal match with a lot of pressure. After just five minutes, Dornbirn also came up and a duel on equal terms developed. Goalies Thomas Höneckl (DEC) and Jean-Philippe Lamoureux (RBS) distinguished themselves on both sides, and the bar saved once each. In the second power play the Salzburg side took the lead, Florian Baltram (19th) deflected a shot by Mario Huber decisively - the forward scored for the third game in a row. In the middle period, the goalkeepers were again the end of the line until the 37th minute, when Baltram increased the lead to 0:2 with his first playoff brace. The visitors remained aggressive and Peter Hochkofler even missed the chance to score the third goal. Early in the final period, the Vorarlberg team was unable to take advantage of a power play as Lamoureux stopped them. In the final minutes, a Nilsson penalty denied the home side what was probably their last chance of a comeback. Mario Huber was responsible for the final goal, fixing the 0:3 final score with the siren. Lamoureux thus became only the fourth goalie since the league was newly founded to record two back-to-back shutouts in the playoffs. As in the 2014 quarterfinal series, the Bulldogs were beaten 4:2 by Salzburg after leading 2:0. The Red Bulls will now face the EC-KAC in the semifinals. In the second pairing, HCB Südtirol Alperia and spusu Vienna Capitals will duel.
