Red Bulls also win the third clash against GrazBenjamin Nissner scores a brace for the fourth time // win2day ICE Hockey LeagueEC Red Bull Salzburg celebrated a 4:1 victory in the win2day ICE Hockey League away game against the Moser Medical Graz99ers and thus remains in fourth place in the table. After a strong first period in defense, in which the Grazers nevertheless took a 1:0 lead, the Red Bulls switched to offense and equalized in the heated second period. A double strike in the final period put the Red Bulls on the road to victory, and with disciplined play and an empty-net goal they finally put the lid on the game and thus remained the winners in their third meeting of the season with the Styrians. Benjamin Nissner scored for the fourth time in a brace, Peter Schneider and Troy Bourke completed the scoring.

Course of the game
With Lukas Hörl, Maximilian Wurzer and the 17-year-old Leon Kolarik, the Red Bulls once again had three current academy players in the team today due to the squad situation, i.e. many regular players who were convalescing. And like their more experienced colleagues, they were initially forced to work defensively. Graz started energetically and created some good chances. Like in the 2 on 1 with Lukas Haudum and Trevor Gooch (8th) or in a massive attack (11th), in which the disc was briefly exposed and saved by Atte Tolvanen. Lucas Thaler then also had a chance with a deflected shot directly in front of the Graz goal with goalkeeper Jonas Gunnarsson, but that was almost the only notable Salzburg chance in the first period. The Red Bulls were then lucky with a shot from Lukas Haudum (18th), but shortly before the break (20th) Casey Bailey scored a one-timer from the face-off circle in the power play to give Graz a not undeserved lead in the third period.
In the second period, the Red Bulls also switched to attack and promptly equalized. Benjamin Nissner pocketed the rebound after a Peter Schneider shot to make it 1:1 (23'). The game was now open, with many tough duels and good shots on both sides. Then things got really emotional. Three Graz players were sent to the penalty box one after the other, the Red Bulls also played 5 vs. 3 for quite some time, but were unable to get ahead against the home side, who were outnumbered. After further heated final minutes, the teams went into the second break with the score at 1:1.
The final period continued in playoff style. The Red Bulls tried to concentrate on playing and made some good approaches to goal, keeping possession well in the early stages. With the first good shot on goal from Graz (45'), the game became more even again. However, the Red Bulls then ensured the preliminary decision with a double strike. Benjamin Nissner netted his fourth brace of the season after a one-two with Peter Schneider (47'), and just 17 seconds later Ryan Murphy scored from an acute angle to give them a 3:1 lead (47'). The Red Bulls then defended a dangerous Graz powerplay, Atte Tolvanen prevented a final 2 on 1 from Graz (57.) and Troy Bourke finally scored into the empty net to make the final score 4:1, which was perhaps too high considering the course of the game, but deserved in any case.

Statement by Benjamin Nissner
“We didn't start well and played a disastrous first period. But then we got our act together from the second period onwards, fixed little things and won in the end. We can be satisfied with that.”
