Series compensation.

EHC Klostersee already had their backs to the wall on Sunday evening in the final series "best of three" at TEV Miesbach after the home defeat.

With an extremely strong performance and a 6:2 win in the Oberland, Grafinger brought home a third game (Tuesday, 8 p.m.).

Grafing

– “We need speed and high intensity immediately.

And we have to avoid falling behind as much as possible, because that would immediately make it even more difficult against such a compact opponent," said coach Dominik Quinlan, pointing the way for the Reds and Whites.

The EHC head coach changed the composition of the three defensive pairs and swapped the center forwards in the first and second attack rows.

That immediately brought a breath of fresh air into the Klosterseer game, who immediately gained advantages and were able to keep the host team in their zone.

But even a very powerful and variable power play did not lead to the hoped-for lead.

Instead, the cold shower: The TEV series around the Canadian Patrick Asselin, which had been outstanding two days before, scored on the other side after a well-thought-out attack and some luck with the puck (11th).

An effective hit that gave Miesbach the necessary security and slowed down Grafinger for the time being.

After all, you didn't want to catch another thing.

In the closing stages of the first period, the deserved equalizer.

Simon Roeder deflected a long-range shot from Yannick Kischer into the corner (19').

A big Grafinger chance followed through Gennaro Hördt before the siren.

The EHC caught up on what was missed immediately after the restart.

Lynnden Pastachak and Nicolai Quinlan shot up a 3-1 lead within 63 seconds (21st/22nd).

Now the TEV players had to swallow and the turning point did not go unnoticed by the hosts.

Even in a five-a-side game, an absolute strength of Miesbach, the Klosterseer kept throwing a racket in between and were able to clear the ball, or goalkeeper Philipp Hähl was there.

There were clear scoring opportunities opposite, but Anian Geratstorfer was also highly concentrated.

Just under two minutes before the end of the middle section, the EHC moved forward.

Pastachak served Bob Wren, who passed it across to Florian Engel and it was 4:1 after his direct acceptance.

The TEV complained that a hard check in advance had not resulted in a penalty time.

"We have to carry on as before for the next 20 minutes," said Florian Gaschke at the Sprade-TV microphone during the break.

This worked mainly due to the continued compact defensive performance and an outstanding Hähl between the EHC posts.

With Engel's next trick, the EHC was through (5:1/54.).

After another goal by the TEV, Nicolai Quinlan put the final point into the deserted goal.
