Sun, 10.10.2021, 15:00: iClinic Bratislava Capitals - Steinbach Black Wings Linz
Referees: HRONSKY, STERNAT, Durmis, Gatol | >> PPV-Livestream <<
After the first success of the season of Steinbach Black Wings Linz, the Upper Austrians visit Bratislava. Against the reigning champions, of all teams, the Linz offense really got going for the first time this season, scoring more than three goals. For a while, it even looked like the Black Wings would get three points before the KAC fought their way into overtime. However, Will Pelletier then ensured the decision for the Upper Austrians. The last-place team in the table now wants to build on this success against the iClinic Bratislava Capitals, who recently suffered two defeats after a thoroughly successful start to the season.

Sun, 10.10.2021, 17:30: Moser Medical Graz99ers - HC Orli Znojmo
Referees: BULOVEC, OFNER, Bärnthaler, Seewald
The Moser Medical Graz99ers get the chance to make amends already a little more than a week after the clear rebuff against HC Orli Znojmo. On October 1, the Graz team took a 3:2 lead into the last period as guests in Znojmo. But then the Czechs ignited the turbo and finished the Styrians with 9:3. The Graz team also suffered a defeat on Friday and now wants to get back on the winning track for good. Znojmo got back on track after the temporary setback against VSV and is back among the top 4 teams of the bet-at-home ICE Hockey League after Friday's win against Bratislava.

Sun, 10.10.2021, 17:30: EC GRAND Immo VSV - HCB Südtirol Alperia
Referees: HUBER, NIKOLIC M., Nothegger, Puff
Both EC Grand Immo VSV and HCB Südtiol Alperia are still lacking consistency this season: Good performances are always followed by minor setbacks. On Friday, both teams had to admit defeat again after wins. The South Tyroleans, however, acted much more successfully before that and now want to consolidate their place among the top 6 with a win . VSV is in the bottom third of the standings and has only managed to score six points in six games. For the Villach team, it is important to quickly get out of the danger zone.

Sun, 10.10.2021, 17:30: Hydro Fehervar AV 19 - Dornbirn Bulldogs
Referees: SIEGEL, SOOS, Kis-Kiraly, Konc,
Hydro Fehérvár AV19 continues to be the measure of all things in the bet-at-home ICE Hockey League. The Hungarians have already scored 18 out of a possible 21 points and continue to lead the bet-at-home ICE Hockey League. But the pursuers are not asleep either, with newcomer Ljubljana only two points behind the leader in waiting position. Sunday's opponent Dornbirn could make a decent jump in the standings with a full success. The Vorarlberg side recently celebrated a shutout win against Vienna and are on the verge of making it into the top-6, but if they are to do so this weekend, they will need a win over the league leaders.

Sun, 10.10.2021, 18:00: HK SZ Olimpija - EC Red Bull Salzburg
Referees: RENCZ, ZRNIC, Muzsik, Zgonc,
HK SZ Olimpija Ljubljana and EC Red Bull Salzburg are currently the closest pursuers of leader Fehérvár. The winner of this clash will stay close to the Hungarians. If Fehérvár loses at the same time, Ljubljana would even have the chance to take the lead as a league newcomer. Salzburg really got going in recent weeks, winning their last four league games. However, the Slovenians' record so far reads even better: In seven games, they have only lost once.

Sun, 10.10.2021, 18:30: HC Pustertal Wolves - EC-KAC
Referees: LAZZERI, PIRAGIC, Rigoni, Sparer
HC Pustertal welcomes the reigning champions EC-KAC at the end of the eighth round. The league newcomer recorded a rock-solid start in the bet-at-home ICE Hockey League and already celebrated three victories in seven games. Although the Klagenfurt team is placed ahead of the Wolves, the record champion can probably not yet be fully satisfied with the league performances so far. In the last five games in the bet-at-home ICE Hockey League, only one victory was recorded. The double burden with the Champions Hockey League seems to show effects. With a full success, the Wolves could even leave the KAC behind them in the standings.
