Rittner Buam are short before their big aim! The Italian Champion needs just one more win to get the title in SKY Alps Hockey League! On Saturday the South Tyroleans won final number 4 at Asiago 4:3 in Overtime and lead now in the best of seven series with 3:1. Match Winner for the Rittner Buam was Thomas Spinell, who was involved in all goals from his club: The forward scored inter alia three goals, including the Game Winner in minute 67 and fixed so the first road-win in this finals. Already on Monday follows now final number 5 at Klobenstein! At home the team of Riku Lehtonen has the first chance to fix the title: And in front of their fans Thomas Spinell and Company had their opponent under control lately: The Italian Champion won the last nine home-games against the „Yellow-Reds“ and received totally just twelve goals. In the Finals goalie Patrick Killeen even got just one goal against so far at home in 120 minutes!
 
On Saturday Migross Supermercati Asiago Hockey 1935 was on the best way to tie the best of seven finals at 2:2. The team of Tom Barrasso had already a 3:2-lead after 53 minutes, but finally lost in the Overtime 3:4. The „Yellow-Reds“ are now back in the best-of-seven-series 1:3 and need now two miracles at Klobenstein! Because to bring the title to Asiago, Krystofer Kolanos and Co. must win the last three finals, inter alia twice at Klobenstein! The first must-win the „Yellow-Reds“ need already on Monday at Ritten. There the team of Tom Barrasso also fights against their bad run on the road, because their last victory at Klobenstein the Venetier got on March 28th 2015 or already 743 days ago. Since that day the Rittner Buam were successful nine times in a row at home. Important would be to get the lead, because in all four finals in SKY Alps Hockey League so far, won that team, that scored the 1:0.
