Game recap
This is how a game can start. The Red Bulls started full of pressure and took advantage of the first power play in the 4th minute. Thomas Raffl was quickest on the follow-up. Six minutes later (9th), the Red Bulls followed up while short-handed, Ali Wukovits completed a counter-attack against 20-year-old Tyrolean goalkeeper Markus Gratzer, who had to make two saves in the opening period in his first ICE Hockey League outing of the season. The home side only became dangerous for the first time in the final phase on the powerplay. Salzburg goalkeeper Atte Tolvanen was on hand to save two good shots in poor visibility and two short breakaways by the Tyroleans. The Red Bulls led 2:0 after 20 controlled minutes.
They continued to dominate play in the second period against the improving Tyroleans and hardly allowed any shots worth mentioning on their own goal for a long time, but continued to create a lot of traffic in front of the opposing goal, albeit now without any compelling chances. However, things got dicey in the third short-handed game and then the disc was suddenly in, Atte Tolvanen had no sight of Anders Krogsgaard's shot from distance (34'). Salzburg then switched into attack mode, forcing Innsbruck back into their own zone and Niki Kraus restored the two-goal lead with a shot from half distance - the goalkeeper was unfortunate enough to take the disc into the goal - (37').
Immediately after the second break, the Red Bulls put their heads together and scored twice (42') to make the game decisive. Ali Wukovits skillfully converted Troy Bourke's pass at the left post against a defender for his brace and Innsbruck-born Mario Huber, who became a father for the second time on Saturday, scored from the right face-off circle for a 5:1 lead. Salzburg did not stop playing. Peter Schneider made it 6:1 in the powerplay (56.) and crowned his 300th league game with a goal. He was assisted by captain Thomas Raffl, who scored his 700th point (!) in his 931st league game for the club. The Red Bulls also dominated the rest of the game with further opportunities, the Innsbruckers also forced Atte Tolvanen to make two or three saves - Nicholas Welsh single-handedly (53rd) - and so the Austrian champions celebrated a highly deserved and clear victory in Innsbruck in the end.

Statement from Oliver David
“Despite the clear result, it was a tough game in which we scored twice in the powerplay and once while short-handed. When Innsbruck got a little closer in the meantime, we hit back straight away and also did a good job at the start of the final period. Innsbruck also had chances, but that was our night tonight.”
