KAC initially fails, but shows strength against Asiago and wins 3:1!

In the exciting match of the win2day ICE Hockey League, the KAC defeated Asiago Hockey 3-1 on matchday 24. The Italians, who were in eleventh place before the game, just one point behind the pre-playoff ranks, got off to a better start: Rigoni took advantage of a perfect pass from Gazzola and gave Asiago the lead in the 17th minute. However, the KAC showed fighting spirit and responded before the first break through Petersen, who used a brilliant pass from Fraser (19th).

As a result, Asiago dominated the game at times, but was unable to capitalize on the advantage. The Klagenfurt team had not yet been written off after a weaker period when Thimo Nickl failed with a shot that hit the crossbar in the 35th minute. But then it was Herburger who took the lead for the KAC in the 55th minute after a follow-up shot. Peeters made it 3-1 with an empty-net-goal and secured important points for the KAC in the fight for a place in the top 6. With 37 points, the team is currently in sixth place.
