The Vienna Capitals have celebrated their first success under their new head coach Kevin Constantine. In front of their home crowd, the Viennese prevailed against the Innsbruck Haie.
After three defeats in a row, the Vienna Capitals found their way back to success. The Viennese got off to a powerful start in their home game against the Tyroleans, but were initially unable to capitalize on their initial offensive. Instead, Owre gave the guests the lead on the first power play. Zane Franklin made it 1-1 in the middle period when he pushed the puck over the line via HCI goalie Matt Vernon. The Canadian turned the game in favor of the Viennese in the 47th minute, and a little later Souch increased the score to 3-1. Although Owre shortened the score again, the Innsbruck team, who weakened themselves with many penalties, were no longer able to equalize. Things continue for both teams on Sunday: Vienna visits Villach, Innsbruck travels to Graz.
