Harvey Leads Innsbruck to Home Victory Over Fehervar AV19

HC Innsbruck celebrates a 2-0 home victory over Fehervar AV19 in the fourth round of the win2day ICE Hockey League.

From the start, a fast-paced duel unfolds. Fehervar repeatedly increases the pressure and tries to trouble the Innsbruck defense.

However, the Sharks hold their ground and presented themselves as the more dangerous team for long stretches of the first two periods. The hosts repeatedly created good chances and were rewarded early with the lead through Frimmel (9th).

Harvey Unbeatable

Subsequently, the game remained hard-fought.

Fehervar increasingly found their rhythm and put considerable pressure on in the final period. The visitors repeatedly came dangerously close to the Innsbruck goal and were at times close to the equalizer.

But there was no getting past Sam Harvey this afternoon. The Innsbruck goaltender had an outstanding day and saved his team from the 1-1 equalizer with several strong saves. The new signing also withstood the increasing pressure from the Hungarians.

The Canadian made a total of 40 saves.

Owre Seals Home Victory

Seven seconds before the end, Steven Owre finally sealed the deal. The former MVP scored the empty-net goal to make it 2-0, securing the home win.

Thus, Harvey remained without a goal conceded, and Innsbruck rejoices over a hard-fought 2-0 home victory. A strong defensive performance, an outstanding goaltender, and the necessary efficiency made the afternoon perfect for the Sharks.

After their second consecutive win, the Sharks now have five points and occupy ninth place. Fehervar suffers their third consecutive defeat, with three points placing them twelfth.
