Jesenice takes tenth straight win
HDD SIJ Acroni Jesenice celebrated its tenth win in a row with a 4:1 home victory over VEU Feldkirch. The Slovenians (50 points), which are in third place, are only two points behind leaders HK SZ Olimpija Ljubljana. For VEU, which is in eighth place, it was already the sixth defeat in a row. It ends its Slovenia road trip, after the 1:6 in Ljubljana on Saturday, with the second clear defeat. The home team made the preliminary decision already in the first frame: Blaz Tomazevic (6.), Jaka Sodja (14.) and Zan Jezovsek (17.) got off a perfect start. Zan Us kept his sheet clean, until Sven Grasböck - in his farewell game - pushed a rebound over the line. The Vorarlberg side did not manage more, in the end Jezovsek netted the empty-netter. Like Tomazevic, he scored three points.
