Four goals of Grafenthin not enough for 99ers

With two points, the 99ers are currently only twelfth in the table.



Vienna loses again
The spusu Vienna Capitals could not win their third game of the season. For a long time it looked very good at the first home game. Nicolai Meyer from Denmark gave the Capitals an early lead against Hydro Fehérvár AV19 (2./PP). Still in the first period the Canadian Brody Sutter (14th) increased to 2:0. For the 29-years-old it was already the third goal of the season. In the middle period, the guests scored the first goal, through Gleason Fournier (29./PP). Only four minutes later, the Viennese restored the two-goal lead. Nicolai Meyer scored again in the powerplay (13./PP). In the final period, however, the home side had no more chances and the Hungarians were able to turn the game around completely. Istvan Terbocs (45./PP) and Alex Petan (49./PP) scored two powerplay goals to equalize the game. The game-winner was finally scored by Anze Kuralt from Slovenia in the 58th minute. While Vienna is only at the bottom of the table with zero points, Fehérvár keeps the maximum of nine points and is the leader the bet-at-home ICE Hockey League.



Dornbirn and Pustertal surprise
Surprising away wins were celebrated by both the Dornbirn Bulldogs and the HC Pustertal. While the Bulldogs won with 6:5 at the EC Red Bull Salzburg, the "Wolves" kept the upper hand at the EC GRAND Immo VSV with 3:2. Dornbirn led with 2:1 after the first period, with Russian Pavlo Padakin responsible for both goals (4., 14.). In the second period, the Vorarlberg team even increased to 5:2.

With five points, Dornbirn is in eighth place in the table. Salzburg is only tenth in the table with three points.

The HC Pustertal had an early deficit in Villach. Maximilian Rebernig (3.) put the home side in the lead. Through goals from Simon Berger (5.) and Johan Harju (18.), the South Tyroleans turned the game around before the end of the first period.

Ex-Bolzano forward Anthony Bardaro increased the lead to 3:1 in the 28th minute of the game. 25-years-old Bardaro scored his first goal of the season and his sixth point of the season. In the final period Joel Broda was able to reduce the score to 2:3 in the 51st minute, but the Carinthians were not able to equalize. This was mainly due to PUS goalkeeper Tomas Sholl, who was able to save 48 shots on his goal throughout the entire game.

Innsbruck wins after overtime
The Steinbach Black Wings Linz still have to wait for their first win of the season. The Upper Austrians lost in the Puls24 live match against the HC TIWAG Innsbruck - Die Haie with 1:2 OT.

The narrow lead lasted until the 53rd minute of play before Joel Messner equalized for Innsbruck. Shortly before the end, the Tyroleans even had the chance for a full victory, but failed. In the overtime the HCI did it better. In the powerplay, Canadian Zachary Magwood scored the game-winner for the visitors. It was the second win of the season for the ninth-placed team from Tyrol. The Black Wings are in thirteenth place in the table with just one point.

Ljubljana surprises Bolzano
Last year's finalist HCB Südtirol Alperia lost against the HK SZ Olimpija Ljubljana surprisingly clear with 2:6 at home. For the league newcomer from Slovenia it was already the third win en suite.
