Like this Saturday, Grenoble had to wait for the penalty shootout to win on the ice of Angers in Match 4 of the Magnus League final (2-3 on pens). The Burners of Wolves will be able to conclude this Wednesday in front of their public.
The Wolf Burners are reaching their goal! While their defeat at home in Match 2 of the Magnus League final could have been a problem, the Grenoblois concluded the second leg played in Amiens with as much success. Like this Saturday during Match 3, it was at the very end of the suspense that the decision was made. A meeting that Grenoble started off on its feet. After only 27 seconds, well launched by Sacha Treille and Joël Champagne, Dylan Fabre went to beat Evan Cowley. Too undisciplined, the Burners of Wolves were able to hold on in numerical inferiority. It was five against five that the Isérois finally saw the Dukes equalize at the start of the last quarter of an hour. Vincent Llorca and Philippe Halley found Antonin Manavian, who left Jakub Stepanek no chance. Markus Poukkula thought he had done the hardest part eight minutes from the siren.

The Wolf Burners will have a first match point
On passes from Nicolas Deschamps and Jani Tuppurainen, he sent Evan Cowley for the puck a second time in this meeting. An advantage that the Burners of Wolves were able to keep… 43 small seconds. This is the time it took Danick Bouchard to put the two teams back on par, on assists from Zachary Torquato and Toé Sarliève. The score then did not move until the end of regulation time. It was the same during the ten minutes of overtime three against three despite several hot situations on both sides. Consequently, for the second time in a row, it was a penalty shootout that allowed the two teams to decide. While Philippe Halley was the only one to deceive Jakub Stepanek for the Dukes of Angers, Nicolas Deschamps, Sacha Treille then Dylan Fabre took the advantage over Evan Cowley for Grenoble. With this victory (2-3 pens), the Burners of Wolves now lead three wins to one in the series and will have the opportunity to win their eighth national title this Wednesday on home ice.
