Red Bulls vs. Hydro Fehérvár AV19
While the visitors from Hungary kept the game competitive during the first period, they struggled to mount a significant challenge thereafter. Mario Huber netted his second brace of the season, with additional goals coming from Nick Poisson, Mathias Böhm, Peter Hochkofler, Benjamin Nissner, and Michael Raffl. This marks the Red Bulls' fifth win in six games since Teemu Levijoki was appointed head coach; the team now heads into a well-deserved international break.

Game Summary
What a start to the game: Lukas Hörl fired a shot from distance, and after a second rebound attempt, Nick Poisson put the hosts ahead 1–0 (2nd minute). The home side continued to dictate play with plenty of movement and quality shots, making it difficult for the visitors to clear the zone. Adrian Gesson narrowly missed connecting with the puck in the slot, right in front of Hungarian goaltender Rasmus Reijola (11th minute). Shortly thereafter, Salzburg’s Florian Baltram remained on the ice following a heavy check and had to be stretchered off (13th minute). The Red Bulls defended capably during the ensuing penalty kill. The game then opened up and grew more physical; the Hungarians found their offensive rhythm, leading to end-to-end action. In the final minute of the period, Mathias Böhm deflected a long-range shot from Nash Nienhuis to extend the lead to 2–0 (20th minute). However, the margin was narrowed just before the break when Bence Stipsicz scored off a face-off—unsighted, Salzburg goaltender Atte Tolvanen couldn't react—making it 2–1 heading into the intermission.
The second period began much like the first, with the hosts scoring an early goal. Mario Huber was perfectly positioned at the post to convert a pass from Nick Poisson (22nd minute). The Red Bulls kept the pressure on—Jayden Lee had a prime opportunity from mid-range (26th minute)—and remained unfazed even by two brief power outages. The visitors posed only occasional threats, with Csanad Erdely testing Atte Tolvanen from the face-off circle (33rd minute). While the Red Bulls couldn't capitalize on the subsequent power play, Peter Hochkolfer managed to deflect a long-range shot from Ali Wukovits into the net just as the man advantage expired. Following a counterattack involving Michael Raffl and Ty Rattie, Benjamin Nissner finished off a strong combination to make it 5–1 heading into the intermission—a lead the Red Bulls had well and truly earned with three goals in the second period.
The visitors started with Levente Hegedüs in goal, but he was replaced by Rasmus Reijola in the second period after conceding the fifth goal. The match remained hard-fought, as the Hungarian side continued to push forward. However, Salzburg showed more hunger; Mario Huber followed up aggressively during a power play to score his second goal of the game (46th minute). There were further opportunities—Adam Brooks fired a shot from close range that went just over the crossbar (50th minute). Salzburg remained a constant threat, though they did concede a second goal following an individual effort by István Terbócs (55th minute). Michael Raffl provided the final touch, scoring in the last minute to seal a thoroughly deserved 7–2 victory for the Red Bulls.
Florian Baltram was conscious after leaving the ice but was immediately taken to the hospital for further evaluation. We wish him all the best and a speedy recovery.
Statement from Mario Huber
“That was really good for our confidence; every line scored a goal today. We tried to keep our game simple, and at times we succeeded very well in doing that. Plus, the puck took a few favorable bounces our way, and we capitalized on those opportunities.”
