After three wins at the start, the HC TIWAG Innsbruck - Die Haie lost two times within 48 hours. On Friday, they lost the Tyrol derby in Bolzano clearly with 1:5, and today, Saturday, they lost against the Steinbach Black Wings Linz with 2:5. Linz had a perfect start in the game and took a 1:0 lead in the fourth minute through Shawn St-Amant. It was the third game in a row for the forward to score a goal. Innsbruck also had chances, but always failed to score.

In the second period, the picture was similar. Again, the Black Wings were quickly successful. Dennis Sticha scored in the 26th minute to make it 2:0. Innsbruck could not use their few chances in the following and so the BWL increased to 3:0 just before the end of the second period. Again it was the Canadian Shawn St-Amant who gave HCI goalkeeper Tom McCollum no chance. It was already the fourth goal of the season for the 25-year-old. Brian Lebler scored in the power play two seconds before the end of the period to make it 4:0, and it was the 34-year-old who made it 5:2 four minutes before the end of the game.

Before that, however, the home side tried everything again in the final period. Corey Mackin reduced the score to 1:4 after just 29 seconds, and when Adam Helewka made the 2:4 eight minutes before the end of the game, HCI's hopes were restored. In the end, however, the team was unable to score again and suffered its second defeat in a row. For the Black Wings it was already the third win in a row.
