In the first of two Sunday games, the EC KAC II defeated the Wipptal Broncos Weihenstephan 3-2 and can thus mathematically still reach the top-12 and the associated pre-playoffs. The Broncos, who are currently in the last pre-playoff spot, missed the chance to gain a lead over their closest rivals. Currently, the cushion on the thirteenth is three points. However, Sterzing had the better start in the match and went into the second period with a 1:0 advantage. There, Nal Brodnik ensured the turnaround with a brace. After this success, the KAC lack eight points on rank twelve three games before the end of the second phase.

Both Migross Supermercati Asiago Hockey and EC Bregenzerwald had to play their second game this weekend. The Yellow-Red posted a perfect 6-point weekend and are just ahead of early qualification for the quarterfinals. Bregenzerwald remains in eleventh place, but cannot be ousted from a pre-playoff spot. Asiago built a 3-0 advantage in the first 25 minutes to take an early decision. Bregenzerwald could no longer pose a threat to the fourth-placed team and was eventually beaten 1:4.
