Referees: DURCHNER, LEGAT, Dieber, Schweighofer

After a winning streak of four games Cortina managed to catch up with the top-3. With a win against the EC-KAC Future Team the northern Italians could already make the jump to second place, but would have to do so by one point more than the Red Bull Juniors in the parallel match. The EC-KAC Future Team recently ended its seven-game losing streak. In the direct encounter with their table neighbors SHC Fassa Falcons, the Klagenfurt team recorded a 4:1 victory, leaving the Falcons behind them in the standings. Jacob Lippitsch scored a brace. In the last meeting between the KAC and Cortina, the Carinthians managed the surprise with a 2-1 shootout win - Samuel Witting provided the decisive penalty shot a month ago.

Red Bull Hockey Juniors are the second team that has a chance to take over the second place in the table on Tuesday. To do so, they would have to score at least as many points as Cortina in the parallel game. The Salzburgers, however, had a small weak phase recently. In the last four games, they never managed to get the maximum points - they even lost two games. Most recently, however, the Juniors recorded a victory after penalty shootout against Lustenau. Kitzbühel, on the other hand, won two of its last three games. In the first meeting between these two teams, the Juniors prevailed in overtime. Philipp Krening provided the game-winner just over a month ago.
