Ice Bulls celebrated their first win in the Premier League, beating Stavanger Oilers 5-2 on their own ice. This means that the ice hockey league champions still have the chance to make the play-off before the two game days in October.
Salzburg zero points, Stavanger one – in the Saturday duel between those who have so far been winless in the Champions Hockey League, both clubs needed something countable like a bite of bread. In the end, only the Eisbullen could be happy about: With 5:2, they finally achieved their first victory in the fourth game after a first third in which the David crew only got off to a good start. Before it soon smelled like a cramped game. But the can opener came in the second third: a shot by Mario Huber went via Schneider’s skate into the goal of the Norwegian champions. The video study confirmed: no kick movement – 1:0! That was obviously good for the Bulls game. Great chances were missed again, but Paul Huber after a fine Thaler assist, defender Genoway and then Bourke in the first power play were able to follow up. The pointer on the self-confidence scale of the ice hockey league champions was finally rising again. But also stopped abruptly: Nissner and Raffl were in the penalty box and the visitors reduced the lead to 2:4. Goalie Kickert was challenged several times before Captain Raffl hit the empty goal.A hard day’s work“It was a hard day’s work. You saw another step in development,” coach David is also happy that you are still in the running for a play-off place. As 16th, you are even above the line, at least to this day. Paul Huber celebrated his first CHL goal: “The win is great, a good feeling in our situation.”RB Salzburg – Stavanger Oilers 5:2 (0:0, 4:0, 1:2). 1: 0 (21st) Schneider, 2: 0 (26th) P.
