A week after the 4-2 at home against the Pioneers, the sharks also win the rematch. The Tyroleans win 5: 4 in Feldkirch.
Head coach Ryan Kinasewich has to do without the struck Lukas Bär in Feldkirch. For him, Youngster Lorenz Klingler is in the contingent. In the goal, Jakob Brandner gets his first game in preparation. The sharks were warned, the Pioneers only showed the Ravensburg Towerstars 2-0 in their place yesterday.
The fans in the Vorarlberghalle, including a loud delegation from Tyrol, see a brisk first third in which the sharks have a little more of the game and an overweight of opportunities. Nevertheless, the Pioneers take the lead through Gallant in a minute fifth. Shortly before, Matt Wilkins had the 1-0 on the racket in a big chance. The sharks can still compensate for in the first third. Emmett Sproule scores the 1-1 (11th) after Winston Frimmel’s dream pass. That is also the stand after the first section. Also thanks to goalie Jakob Brandner, who preserves the sharks with two big-saves from another goal.
In the second section, it also sets the first punishments in the hard -running game. The sharks alone take four two -minute penalties. The special teams are challenged and also strike on both sides. First of all, Schnetzer brings the Pioneers back into the lead (32nd), Matt Wilkins can compensate for in the power play in minute 38. It is also Wilkins who put the sharks in the lead for the first time a little later, but this time outnumbered (40th). The sharks take the narrow lead into the last third, the Pioneers just under two minutes of the power play.
The hosts can then use this outnumbered to compensate. After only 16 seconds in the last third, Burke ensures the 3: 3. The sharks strike back a little later. Killian Rappold and his premier gate bring the Tyrolean the lead again (42nd). The Vorarlbergers can rely on their power play that evening. Dornbach equalizes, again just a few minutes later, with the third overpaid gate of the Pioneers. In a balanced third third, the sharks then have the better end. Benjamin Corbeil succeeds in minute 54 after preparatory work by Emmett Sproule, the game -decisive 5: 4. The sharks are lucky, because the disc is deflected by the shoe of a Pioneers player.
HC Tiwag Innsbruck wins 5: 4 in Vorarlberg at the Pioneers. The victory should give the team of head coach Ryan Kinasewich and Co Florian Pedevilla more confidence.
