The Wipptal Broncos Weihenstephan celebrated their fifth win in a row in Jesenice on Sunday. The team from Sterzing prevailed 1:0. Nick Campoli scored the only goal five seconds before the first period break. Goalie Dominik Groh saved all 30 shots and recorded his first shutout of the season. The away win lifted the Broncos up to fifth in the table and they now have a deciding game against Cortina for a place in the Masterround. Jesenice ended their regular season with a defeat, and the Slovenians can still be knocked out of second place by Ritten.

In the second game of the day, Celje were 2:0 up after the first period in Wolkenstein. The home side equalised in the middle period with a double strike within two minutes. Val Gardena even took the lead for the first time after the restart through Brad McGowan, and just two minutes later the former league MVP made it 4:2. Celje came close once more through Ahmet Jakupovic, but the team at the bottom of the table managed to hold on for a narrow victory in their last game of the regular season. The Slovenians were unable to secure tenth place as a result of the defeat.
