Villach Dominance: Ten Wins Since Late November
The Villach Eagles are riding a wave of success. Since November 29, they haven’t dropped a single point, defeating their opponents in ten straight games. This marks the longest winning streak of the current season. Teams like the Steinbach Black Wings Linz and Hydro Fehérvár AV19, both of whom managed eight straight wins earlier this season, have been surpassed by Villach’s performance. In these ten games, the Eagles dropped only a single point – requiring overtime to edge out the Moser Medical Graz99ers.

Club Record in Sight: VSV Could Make History
A glance at the club’s history shows that the Eagles are close to reaching a historic milestone. Between September 28 and November 4, 2001 – during the league's second season after its relaunch – VSV set their club record with 11 consecutive wins. This record could be matched as soon as December 28 or even broken on December 30 if Villach continues their winning streak.

The League's Greatest Streaks: Klagenfurt and Vienna Dominate
The longest winning streaks in league history set a high bar. EC-KAC holds the single-season record with 17 consecutive wins during the 2010/11 campaign. Between October 8 and December 5, 2010, KAC was unstoppable, writing a memorable chapter in the league’s 25-year history.

However, the spusu Vienna Capitals surpass even this achievement when considering streaks across seasons. The Capitals went undefeated in 25 straight games from February 21 to October 20, 2017. This run began with a playoff sweep in 2017 that secured Vienna their second championship and continued into the following season with a flawless start, winning their first 12 games.
