20 hours after the game against Straubing, the wolves compete for the second match as part of the Vinschgau Cup. The opponents are the Panthers from ERC Ingolstadt, who ended the DEL 2024/25 as the basic passage winner and are currently for a training camp in Latsch. The HCP protects Pasquale, Rabanser, Lipon, Bardreau, Frycklund and Conci (sick) in this game, and so Gschliesser and Zandegiacomo come to their string. The Sterzinger Dominik Groh is called up in the goal.
First third
After a phase of the set -off, the wolves become dangerous for the first time after 4 minutes, and only a little later it is 1: 0. Ingolstadt goalkeeper Brochu can only let a shot from Rueschhoff and Daniel Glira transformed for the lead for the HCP (5th min.). As a result, there are opportunities on both sides, until the 11th minute girduckis escaped on the right in the counterattack, nicely pulls inside and groh does not give a chance (1: 1). Afterwards, the wolves survive an outnumber (2 minutes against Saracino), and after 15 minutes they take the lead again.
After completing Mantinger, Gschliesser picks up the rebound and grabs to 2-1. Another two minutes later Ierullo fought for the puck in the third of the attack, puts off on Zandegiacomo and the debutant remains cool and shoots backhand to 3: 1 (17th min.). With this intermediate status it goes into the first break.
Second third
In the second section, little happens for 10 minutes. Then the wolves have to go into penaltykilling after a punishment against Gschliesser. Bowlby succeeds in breaking, he storms alone on Brochu, but cannot use. Just a few seconds later, the panther use the majority: after a punched in front of Groh, Schmölz reacts the fastest and pushes the puck over the line (3: 2; 30th min.).
Now the Bavarians get up and be increasingly game -determining. On Brunecker side, Glira finds a good option (33rd min.), And Saracino has a free shooting track after a successful 2-on-1 counterattack, but finds his master in the Ingolstadt goalie. After craves failed on Groh, it goes to the break tea with 3: 2 after 40 minutes.
Third third
In the final third, the legs are heavy and the DEL team takes the command. In the 45th minute, Hüttl succeeds the deserved equalization (3: 3) after a pressure phase. A little later, Gschliesser has to go under the shower prematurely after a fight; However, the HCP survives the long outnumber without harmless. Ingolstadt succeeds the goal a little later when Agostino places 3: 4 after a nice combination (52nd min.). The wolves seem standing but the opposite is the case!
You now activate the last energies and come with Glira, which circulates the disc from the slot into the Kreuzeck, to 4: 4 equalization (54th min.). And that’s not all: just 1 minute later Lauridsen pulls on the blue line, Brochu drops the puck and Rueschhoff shoots in in a real goalkeeper manner for again (5: 4, 55 min.). In the final phase, the Panther put everything on one card, but can no longer conquer Groh. After a bully in the offensive zone, Rueschhoff even scored the 6: 4. Thus, the wolves end the Vinschgau Cup with a nice victory against a top-class opponent.
The next appointment is scheduled for Friday, August 29, when the HC Falkensteiner Pustertal team presents itself at 6:00 p.m. in the Tschurtschenthaler Park.
