EC-KAC prevails in Brunico – EC-KAC

The third power play of the evening for HC Pustertal, which the home team carried into the final period, led to the first goal for the South Tyroleans in the second it expired: Joel Messner shot towards the goal from the left wing, Jesper Jensen Abo slightly faked the puck so that it landed on the extended goal line to David Morley, who lifted the disc parallel to the goal line and it jumped over the line from the Dane’s glove as he rushed back (41.). On the Red Jackets’ side, Manuel Ganahl made an ideal pass through the box from the right half wall, but Clemens Unterweger was unable to convert it at the far post (43′). The HCP came even closer to scoring when Schofield played from the left to Akeson, who was free on the crease, and he shot. Sebastian Dahm directed the puck past the goal with a wonderful blocking reaction (44th). Dante Hannoun was also put in the spotlight with a cross pass; the returner after an injury break put a hook on his backhand between the hashmarks, but the disc slipped away from him (47th). After a Bischofberger shot, the rebound jumped to Matt Fraser, who was in a promising position, but also over the paddle (48th). In a “two-on-one” counterattack a little later, the Haudum cross went a little too far for Niki Kraus backwards so that Messner could poke the puck away with his long stick (49′).
