Red Bulls go into the international break with defeat in BruneckVadim Schreiner with first goal in the professional league// win2day ICE Hockey LeagueEC Red Bull Salzburg lost 3:6 in the away game of the win2day ICE Hockey League against HC Pustertal Wölfe and thus dropped to sixth place in the table behind Pustertal. The Red Bulls had a good first period and deservedly led 2:1, but then completely lost the thread. The home side turned the game around with three goals in the second period and also had the right means against Salzburg's vehement attacks in the final third. The Red Bulls now go into the international break in sixth place.

Game recap
The Red Bulls (without Florian Baltram, Andrew Rowe and Phillip Sinn) got off to the best possible start in Bruneck with an early goal from Mario Huber. The 28-year-old forward put the disc into the net from the half-high slot (2nd) and overcame Pustertal goalie Andreas Bernard for the first time. The Red Bulls remained in control of the game after that, kept the ball moving and created further opportunities. Salzburg goalkeeper David Kickert didn't have much to do at first, but had to let Tommy Purdeller's well-placed shot pass in the 14th minute after a strong individual performance. Pustertal's Tyler Coulter was unable to get past the Salzburg goalkeeper after a solo effort (17') and Troy Bourke finally restored the lead (19'), pushing the rebound after a Ryan Murphy shot over the line for a deserved 2:1 lead at the break.
Then the tide turned. Brett Findlay equalized the game after the break in the power play with a shot right into the corner of the net (22'). And then the home side took the lead. Jashua Wesley scored from the blue line, David Kickert had zero vision (29'). Salzburg now had trouble keeping the Italians at bay and out of their own defensive zone, and David Kickert was called upon in many dicey situations. However, he could do nothing to prevent the fourth Pustertal goal, scored with a hammer shot in the power play by Alex Petan (37'). The home side had turned the game completely in their favor and led 4:2 after 40 minutes.
The Red Bulls struck back after the break, with 19-year-old Vadim Schreiner netting his first goal in the professional league directly in front of goal (42'). But the joy did not last long, as three minutes later Davide Conci scored from an acute angle from a turn to give the home side a 5:3 lead (45') against Atte Tolvanen, who replaced David Kickert at the start of the third. The game remained open and went back and forth, but Pustertal was playing with a two-goal lead and the Red Bulls were running out of time despite many strong scenes in front of goal. In the final minutes, the air in front of the Pustertal goal was on fire, but there was little space and the Red Bulls simply couldn't find the gap to close the gap again. Alex Petan finally scored the empty goal to seal the Red Bulls' 3:6 defeat in Bruneck.

Statement by Oliver David
“After a good start, Pustertal took advantage of two power plays in the second period and that took some of the edge off us. We wanted to play in their zone, but they responded well and forced us to work defensively. We then tried to be successful by making tactical changes, but in the end we couldn't find the way into the goal despite our best efforts. Now we want to recover well during the break and then attack again against Lahti in the CHL.”
