Pustertal in third place despite victory
HC Pustertal celebrated a success over the Vienna Capitals Silver, but could not catch up with the Rittner Buam in the long-distance duel. Thus, Pustertal takes third place in the basic round Phase 1 and starts the Master Round with two bonus points. The Viennese, however, gave Pustertal a hard fight. After a goalless period at the start, with chances on both sides, the wolves took the lead in the second section. In the final third Pustertal achieved the final score of 5:0. The Viennese continued their way without bonus points in the Qualification Group A.
Asiago keeps his nerves in the deciding game
Migross Supermercati Asiago Hockey made it into the top 6 in the final round of the regular season of Phase 1 and the signs for the yellow-red before the encounter were clear. Only by winning, they still had a theoretical chance to enter the Master Round. Asiago could do this in an impressive manner. Already in the first ten minutes, the yellow-red team scored 4:0 and defender Lukas Fredin had to replace Stefan Ridderwal in Kitzbühel. The game ended with a record result of 14:3 for Asiago. Chad Pietroniro scored three goals and three assists. Kitzbühel will start the Qualification Round B on February 11th with one bonus point.
Rittner Buam secure second place
The Rittner Buam fulfilled the compulsory task in the long-distance duel for second place. The South Tyroleans celebrated an unchallenged victory against the bottom placed Steel Wings. The Buam captured a 2-0 lead in the first period, before Linz narrowed the gap in the second period. But the Buam kept their nerves and finally scored a safe 8:1 victory. Ritten thereby secured three bonus points for the Master Round. Steel Wings Linz continues without bonus points in the Quali-Round B.
Lustenau's victory comes too late for Top 6
The EHC Lustenau celebrated a clear success in the duel between two top 6 aspirants, but due to the further results they did not make it into the top 6. The Falcons, who would still have had the move into the top 6 in their own hands, will have to continue their way in the qualification round this season as well. Already in the first ten minutes the home team from Vorarlberg took a 2-0 lead. In the same key, they continued in the second section. Lustenau was already leading 4-0 as the Falcons can write for the first time. Lustenau finally won 7:2. Both teams go into separate qualifying groups with the maximum number of points: Lustenau in Group A and Fassa in Group B.
Jesenice moves into Master Round
The HDD SIJ Acroni Jesenice celebrated a victory over EC Bregenzerwald on the last and decisive matchday of the basic round Phase 1 and thus booked one of the three playoff tickets still available. The Slovenians ensured clear conditions right from the start. After 20 minutes the hosts were already leading 3-0 and did not let Bregenzerwald get into the game. Jesenice celebrated a 7:0 shutout win. Bregenzerwald goes into Qualification Group B without bonus points.
Broncos take 9th place
The WSV Sterzing Broncos won against the EC KAC II with 4:3 and managed to jump up to ninth place in the last round of the regular season phase 1. The KAC had already fixed the 15th place before the encounter. The Austrians had the better start, who went into the first break with a 1:0 lead. After the equalization of the Broncos, the Klagenfurters went again in front. Then the Broncos turned the match around and set the score to 4:2 until the 51st minute. The Austrians shortened the time, but could not force the overtime. The Broncos and the KAC II are facing each other again in the Qualification Round B. The Broncos have a lead of three points.
Cortina solves playoff ticket in hard fought duel
S.G. Cortina Hafro and VEU Feldkirch fought a direct duel for the top 6 and the match kept what it promised in the run-up. Cortina, who could have qualified with only one point, had the better start. Remy Giftopoulos was leading 1-0 in the first period, but Feldkirch had the right answer. After only seven seconds of play in the second period Christian Jennes equalized. Cortina was able to fend off Feldkirch's chances in further consequence. Feldkirch, who needed a win in regular playing time, finally put all their eggs in one basket and took their goalie off the ice in the final minutes. With two emptynettern, the home side finally ensured the decision and the early play-off ticket.
Red Bull Hockey Juniors celebrate victory at the end of the basic round
The Red Bull Hockey Juniors celebrated a sovereign success over HC Gherdeina and thus blew Val Gardena's 12th place after the basic round of phase 1. After 20 minutes the Salzburgers were already leading 2-0. In the second section the guests followed suit and set him up to 4-1. This was also the final score. The two teams will meet again in the Qualification Group A. However, while Salzburg collected two bonus points, Gherdeina must start the race for the last Playoff chance with one bonus point.
Ljubljana tries fought win against Zell
The winner of the regular season phase 1 is struggling for a 2:1 overtime victory over EK Zeller Eisbären. The Slovenians opened the scoring. But Zell could still equalize in the first section. After two goalless thirds, Ales Music finally provided the game winner. Ljubljana enters the Master Round with the maximum score of four points. The Eisbären continue their way with two bonus points in Qualification Group B.
