In front of over 4,000 spectators in the Merkur Ice Arena, the Moser Medical Graz99ers prevailed against the Steinbach Black Wings Linz. Josh Currie made the decision in overtime.
The third duel of the season between the Moser Medical Graz99ers and the Steinbach Black Wings Linz was also a game on a knife’s edge. After Linz won the first duel of the season 3-2 after overtime, the 99ers won 3-2 at home – and this time too a goal made the difference. Graz narrowly prevailed again in front of their home crowd 4:3 after extra time. In front of a sold-out crowd, it was Josh Currie who redeemed the home fans in the 65th minute. The striker had already scored 1-0 when he was outnumbered in the 4th minute. After 28 minutes the home team already held a 3-1 lead, but in the 38th minute Travis Barron reduced the lead to 2-3. In the final section, the guests slightly set the tone and four minutes before the end of the game, Henrik Neubauer finally equalized. In the end, it was still the fourth defeat in a row for Linz – but at least a point gain that brought eleventh-placed Vienna within two points of tenth-placed Vienna. Graz remains in second place, three points behind leaders KAC, who face VSV in the derby on Saturday (2:30 p.m./live on ORF 1).
