Neither team scored again, not even in overtime, and Cole Schneider converted the decisive attempt in the shootout. Bolzano remains unbeaten in regulation after seven games.
Pustertal storms back in the final minute
HC Falkensteiner Pustertal and Hydro Fehérvár AV19 played 52 scoreless minutes. Then Michael Cyr struck twice within 39 seconds for the visitors. The hosts responded in the final minute and tied the game with two goals 35 seconds apart, the equalizer coming with 17 seconds left on the clock. Alan Lobis scored the winner in overtime. It was Pustertal's fourth straight win.
Four Linz goals in the second period
The Steinbach Black Wings Linz decided their matchup with EC-KAC in the middle frame. After a 1-1 first period, the hosts scored twice within 28 seconds after the break and added two power-play goals. Emilio Romig scored twice. It was KAC's second straight loss after the 4-0 defeat in Bolzano.
Capitals win in overtime
EC iDM Wärmepumpen VSV and the Vienna Capitals battled in a close game in Villach. Villach took the lead twice, and Senna Peeters answered both times. Jakob Lilja gave the Capitals their first lead in the third period before Maximilian Rebernig forced overtime with an extra attacker and 17 seconds left in regulation. Nicholas Bailen then won it on the power play with 13 seconds remaining in overtime.
Salzburg turns the tables on Milano
EC Red Bull Salzburg trailed Milano Hockey Club twice, most recently 2-1 after 25 minutes. Two second-period goals turned the game around, and two more in the third sealed the 5-2 final. It was Salzburg's first back-to-back win of the season.
