The semis between HDD SIJ Acroni Jesenice and Migross Supermercati Asiago Hockey 1935 brought many goals so far! 22 goals were made already in three games - no other Playoff-series in SKY Alps Hockey League brought more goals so far. The Slovenes were on Fire lately: After beeing back 0:1 in the series, the Slovenes won the games 2 and 3 and scored totally ten goals! Now the team of Nik Zupancic has the chance to fix the finals as the first club on Tuesday with a home-win. Their last two home-games against the Italians Jure Sotlar and Company won. The „Red Steelers“ will have big support from their fans again: So far in the Playoffs in average 2.933 fans came into the arena, which is top in the Post Season.
Migross Supermercati Asiago Hockey 1935 is already unter big pressure in semifinal number 4 at Jesenice on Tuesday! The Italians must win in Slovenia to extend their season. The „Red & Yellows“ build their hopes on their strong road-performance lately: Since end of October 2016 Migross Supermercati Asiago Hockey 1935 won twelve from 16 road-games, they never lost two road-games in a row. Besides since beginning of February wins and defeats always rotated on the road and so also after this statistic now must follow a win again. Once in 2016/17-season the club from Venetien left Jesenice already as the winner. For another victory also the defense around goalie Frederic Cloutier has to make a step forward after receiving ten goals in the last two games.

Sportivi Ghiaccio Cortina Hafro must win semifinal four on Tuesday at home against the Ritter Buam! Loses the team from Venetien, then their season is over. Otherwise a fifth game on Thursday at the Arena Ritten would decide, who gets into the finals. Therefore Riley Wilson Brace and Co. must end their bad home-run against the Italian Champion. Lately they lost at home eight times in a row against the Rittner Buam. Last time Cortina won at home against the Italian Champion was on January 25th 2014 or already 1.157 days ago! Besides the defense around goalie De Filippo Roia Marco needs to improve: Because in their last two games the team of Drew Omicioli got totally twelve goals against, while scoring just three times.
The Rittner Buam were on Fire lately! Tommaso Traversa and Co. made twelve goals in the last two games and turned so the semis against Cortina with two wins.
