19:30 | EK Zeller Eisbären – Adler Stadtwerke Kitzbühel
The reigning champions EK Zeller Eisbären are still looking to find their full rhythm in the new season. After three straight wins, the Eisbären suffered a home defeat against Bregenzerwald. In the standings, the Salzburg-based side currently sits sixth but has played at least two games fewer than most opponents – including the Adler Stadtwerke Kitzbühel, who are four points ahead in fourth place with two more games played. Two of the last three head-to-head matchups this calendar year – still in the previous season – went to overtime.

19:30 | HDD Jesenice – Red Bull Hockey Juniors
HDD Jesenice face a tough challenge on Thursday as they host the second-placed Red Bull Hockey Juniors. The Slovenians, currently ranked seventh, and the Juniors have both picked up the maximum number of points from their last three games. All meetings between the two sides last season went in favor of Jesenice, with two of them being decided in overtime.

20:00 | HC Migross Asiago – S.G. Cortina Hafro
HC Migross Asiago welcomes S.G. Cortina Hafro in a clash rich in tradition. The two teams last met in the Alps Hockey League more than three and a half years ago, as Asiago spent the past seasons competing in the ICE Hockey League. They already met during preseason, where Asiago claimed a 3:1 win. In the current standings, the Yellow-Reds also hold a slight edge over Cortina.

20:00 | Wipptal Broncos Weihenstephan – KHL Sisak
The Wipptal Broncos Weihenstephan host league leaders KHL Sisak. The Broncos have played only seven games so far this season, winning four of them. To stay close to the top teams, points are a must. Sisak, meanwhile, have won seven of their nine games so far and continue to impress in this AHL campaign.

20:30 | HC Meran/o Pircher – Hockey Unterland Cavaliers
The South Tyrolean matchup between HC Meran/o Pircher and the Hockey Unterland Cavaliers features two teams from the lower part of the standings. The Cavaliers have collected just four points so far and are in danger of losing touch with the rest of the pack, while Meran/o managed to win four of their nine games this season.
