Tappara Tampere and HC Davos have both taken the maximum 6 points from their two away games. HV71 wins at home to keep Salzburg pointless after two games.
HV71 Jonkoping 4–1 Red Bull Salzburg
HIGHLIGHTS
The teams were still scoreless after two periods, but then John Hughes appeared to score a huge goal in the first minute of the third period for Salzburg. HV71 responded by scoring four straight goals, however, to win their first game of the tournament and leave Salzburg still looking for their first point after two games. Kristofer Berglund scored the tying goal for HV71 and Erik Christensen scored the winner in the 49th minute.
HC Davos 3–2 Dynamo Pardubice
HIGHLIGHTS
In Davos's first game, Leonardo Genoni shut out Farjestad. In their second game, he stopped 31 of 33 shots, keeping his team tied into the last minute of reguation time so that the team's other star, Andres Ambuhl, could score the winning goal with just 42 seconds left in regulation time on a long wrist shot under the blocker of goalie Brandon Maxwell. Radoslav Tybor scored both goals for Pardubice.
"I think we played well today, mainly in the first period but our chances weren’t effective," said Pardubice coach Milos Riha. "We started worse in second period but i think that after that we played better again. I think that today decided our power plays and our chances."
"Pardubice started very good – my team was little bit sluggish after game with Farjestad," stated Davos coach Arno del Curto. "After that we changed, we become better, Pardubice lost their tempo. I think my team gave everything to this game but Pardubice played good – they lead for a long time but they didn’t score the winning goal, which is normal in sport. I’m very proud of my players, they played hard. I like when players are playing hard and together like a team. If Pardubice play all season like today in yjr first period, they’ll be strong."
