ICE Hockey League
Champions Salzburg go down to defeat at penultimate place
Red Bull Salzburg suffered a somewhat unexpected defeat in Asiago at the start of their four-match intensive week in the ICE Hockey League.
The champions were beaten 3:4 on penalties in the supplementary match of the 30th round at the league's penultimate team. As a result, Salzburg failed to close the gap on league leaders KAC and are now four points behind Klagenfurt in second place.
Goals from Troy Burke (9th), Scott Kosmachuk (18th) and Mario Huber (49th) were not enough for the Bulls to win in 60 minutes, as Nick Saracino sent the Italians into overtime late with his second goal (58th). No goals were scored there, which is why a penalty shootout decided the game. Only Matteo Gennaro kept his nerve to the delight of the hosts. It was Salzburg's second defeat of the season against the league stragglers.
Pustertal awaits on Wednesday
The defending champions continue their campaign on Wednesday in Bruneck against the Pustertal Wolves. On Friday, the home game against the Graz99ers is on the program, before Asiago arrives on Sunday and offers the opportunity for revenge.
