The Finns started strongly, looked significantly more lively in the opening period and deservedly took a 2:0 lead through Brayden Burke (12.) and Sebastian Repo (18.).

 

However, the “Sharks” found their game better at the start of the second period, but had to wait a long time for their first goal – and also squandered an 80-second two-man advantage around the midway point of the game. The goal that pulled them closer came 15 seconds before the end of the period, with Brady Shaw scoring following a counter-attack. 

 

Innsbruck also matched the increasingly passive Finns well at times in the final period, had more of the game and Shaw (55.) added his second goal – again following a counter-attack – and his sixth of the current CHL campaign. The Tyroleans defended the draw in the closing minutes.
