The Steinbach Black Wings have an away double in front of their chest. Before the game at HCB Südtirol tomorrow, there will be a duel with the Dornbirn Bulldogs at 7:15 p.m. today. The Vorarlbergers are penultimate in the table and within striking distance of the Black Wings. The first duel of the season on December 19, 2021 ended in Linz with a 4:5 defeat after extra time. However, Linz was in the lead 4:3 until one second before the end. Dornbirn saved themselves in extra time and kidnapped two points from Linz.
“We know that we can definitely beat Dornbirn. It will be important to play straight towards the goal and leave the opponent little space,” said striker Will Pelletier before the game in Ländle.
Steel Wings concede 3:11 defeat in Jesenice
The Steel Wings were beaten by table leader Jesenice 3:11 yesterday. The young players from Linz took a 1-0 lead through Patrick Sollinger (10′), but Jesenice equalized in the first period (14′). Even in the second third, the guests held the game after further setbacks – Jesenice pulled away to 4:1 (28./pp, 28., 29.) – but with goals from Adam Fedor (31.) and Benjamin Mosaad (35.) further open. But the ban was broken with the Slovenian goal to make it 5:3 (36 th ). The Steel Wings had to concede another six goals in the third period and ultimately lost far too clearly against the leaders.
