The Moser Medical Graz99ers also won the third semi-final game against Hydro Fehervar AV19. But the victory had a bitter aftertaste because goalie Maxime Lagace had to end the game due to an injury.
The Styrians are 3-0 ahead thanks to a brace from Paul Huber and a goal from Josh Currie – everything seemed to be going perfectly. But in the 50th minute there was a goalie change. Nicolas Wieser replaces the great Maxime Lagace, who only conceded three goals in the semi-final series against Hungary.
Degree of injury still uncertain
After the encounter, which went 4-0 to the Murstadt team, Philipp Pinter confirmed to the “Small newspaper“that the Canadian had to leave the ice due to an injury. “We’ll have to wait and see, but that’s of course suboptimal when he hobbles out like that. It wasn’t easy for Wieser to come in when he was outnumbered, but he did well.”
Examinations are scheduled for Friday, only then will we know more about the 33-year-old’s level of injury. “He has a problem in his lower body, which of course isn’t ideal. It could be a strain or a tear. We can’t say yet how long he’ll be out.”
Game 4 of the semifinal series against the Devils will take place on Easter Sunday Székesfehérvár. The people of Graz could already get their ticket to the final there.
