Salzburg suffered a clear 4-0 defeat at the start of the Champions Hockey League in Skelleftea. In the second game in a row, the David team failed to score. On Sunday, the next big chunk awaits away with Adler Mannheim.
The Eisbullen, whose offensive lines remained unchanged compared to the Salute tournament, were able to survive two shorthanded games in the starting phase unscathed. However, when Hugg attacked energetically, the defense gave in – and that was when goalie Kickert was beaten for the first time. After that, Salzburg missed good chances. The Swedes, meanwhile, followed up in the middle third. First, a rebound was sunk, then it was particularly bitter: Outnumbered, the home side countered two against one, Dzierkals caught Kickert with his full shot in the short post. The ice hockey league champion was already 0:3 behind – the statistics of shots on goal at 13:33 also spoke a very clear language. Skelleftea then provided the final point with the 4:0 in the fifth majority. “The Swedes are very good at skating and took their chances. Unfortunately we don’t. It was a tough game in which the opponent didn’t give us much. We should have made it much more difficult for them,” said Eisbullen striker Florian Baltram’s sober summary.Haie with a magical nightSo coach David lost his first league game with Salzburg, and his team failed to score in the second game in a row.
