MOL League: DVTK wins close, Volán up to 3rd

Because of the international break, week nine of the MOL League only had two games, both on Tuesday night.

DVTK-DHK 5-4

Third place Debrecen traveled to Miskolc to take on first place DVTK, the home team had Bence Kiss in net, missing from the lineup was Balázs Gőz, on the other side a Balázs Ladányi was behind the bench as interim coach of the team, Ádám Vay was back in between the pipes. The game started well for the visitors as their power play started off well. Péter Hetényi threw a shot down the pipe from the blueline that Bronson Kovács redirected waist high, past Kiss. In the second minute of the middle twenty minutes Jarkko Leppanen took a blast from above the left circle that was redirected by Balázs Somogyi. Minutes later DVTK took their first lead of the game when the puck went from Miskolczi to Galanisz to the tape of Jon Booras who was arriving on the doorstep of the goal, Booras nicely left the puck over the far shoulder of Vay. The home team looked to pull away when Pavuk picked up the loose puck in the neutral zone, skated into the DHK zone and roofed a shot from the hash marks to make it 3-1. The period still had a 5 on 3 goal for Diósgyőr when Booras crossed the puck through the crease to Roland Hajós who put the puck into the empty net. In the third period it looked as if the home team took their foot off the gas but somehow found a fifth goal. Pavuk put a shot on net that Vay initially saved, with the puck under him he stood up and the puck slid over the goal line. DVTK was awarded a penalty shot that Vay saved, in the closing minutes Debrecen made it a game. At first Áron Könczei scored a wrap around goal from the back of the net to make it 5-2 which was followed by an Ákos Berta goal when he took a Kaskov pass from behind the net. In the last minute of play Berta scored his second of the game to make it a one goal game.
