The Vienna Capitals won the Christmas game on Wednesday evening against FTC-Telekom 4:3.
Captain Linden Vey gives the Viennese the lead in the eighth minute. Shortly before the end of the middle third, Cole Hults increased in favor of the Capitals (40th). Carter Souch scores in the power play at the beginning of the final period (45th/PP1). Gordie Green writes for the guests (48th). Defender Nelson Nogier restores the old distance (55th). The Viennese then hurt themselves with penalties, Jussi Tammela (57th/PP2) and Tyler Coulter (59th/PP2) scored when they had a double majority, but the Caps kept the lead over time. Scott Kosmachuk managed two assists on his debut. On Saturday the Vienna Capitals continue with an away game at HCB Südtirol Alperia (7.45 p.m.).
Statement Kevin Constantine, head coach of the Vienna Capitals
That was an important win for us today. In our situation, every game is a playoff game and every point is important. It was good that we took the lead, coming back after a ten-day break is not that easy. You could also see that on our first power play. We did a lot right again today, but I’m very dissatisfied with the end. We caused penalties that we didn’t have to cause. This also has something to do with discipline. We can’t allow ourselves to do something like that. Scott Kosmachuk got better and better the longer it went on in his debut. He is a good and important addition for our team.
