The 1992 Steinbach Black Wings have not forgotten how to win. After the last five defeats in a row, the Linz team beat Vienna Capitals 3-1 at home yesterday. With that, the Black Wings gave the “red lantern” at the bottom of the table to Villacher SV, who played three games less.
The success in Linz started low: the black wings, prone to errors, left too much space on the pages for the Viennese, which Fabio Artner used to guide the guests after a quarter of an hour with a shot in the center corner. The home team rose in the middle third. A double whammy from Linz’s storm duo Brian Lebler (30th) and Dragan Umicevic (33rd) changed the game and instilled new self-confidence in the Black Wings. Alex Lahoda’s 3-1 victory was already the preliminary decision.
Longer without a gaffal
Tomorrow, the next difficult task awaits the Black Wings. Before there are two days without a game, coach Pierre Beaulieu’s team will go to Bolzano (8.15pm, on the OÖN live ticker on nachrichten.at). The South Tyrolese held an impressive 3-0 lead after 30 minutes in Linz last Friday and finished the game smoothly. The scorer of Linz’s consolation goal for the 1: 3 final score, Stefan Gaffal, will not only be absent against Bolzano, but there is a risk of an injury a week after he was hit on the finger by a shot on Sunday. . But Marco Brucker could celebrate a comeback tomorrow. There is still a question mark behind Andrew Kozek. Yesterday, the forward was only able to get off the ice with the help of his teammates before playing the game to the end in the usual way.
