On Saturday, the SHC Fassa Falcons aim their first win of the season – and their first win ever in Alps Hockey League at Rienzstadion, as the “falcons” lost all past duels with the HC Pustertal in Bruneck. Further, Migross Supermercati Asiago Hockey travels to the Wipptal Broncos Weihenstephan to maintain their unbeaten record, while the EHC Lustenau finishes its road-trip at Steel Wings Linz. All other games originally scheduled on the weekend had to be postponed due to medical precautionary measures.

Sat, 31.10.2020, 7.00 pm: Steel Wings Linz – EHC Lustenau
Referees: KUMMER, WALLNER, Puff, Reisinger.
After Friday’s road-game at Salzburg, the EHC Lustenau travels to Linz to complete the first road-trip of the season. For the Steel Wings Linz it will be the first game in the second phase of the regular season. The Upper Austrians lost all games of the return-to-play stage but hat a good last frame in the past home-game against Ljubljana, despite losing 3:8. On the other hand, Lustenau won four out of six and convinced on penalty-killing, with stopping 90% of occasions being one man down. Both teams met each other in the preseason with the “Sticker”, which have David König back in the line-up, taking a clear 8:0 win.

Sat, 31.10.2020, 7.30 pm: Wipptal Broncos Weihenstephan – Migross Supermercati Asiago Hockey
Referees: EGGER, STEFENELLI, Cristeli, De Zordo.
After a strong performance in the return-to-play phase the Wipptal Broncos Weihenstephan open second stage of regular season with a home-game against Migross Supermercati Asiago Hockey. The South Tyrolean, which have league’s third best goal-scorer in the line-up with Matthias Mantinger (7G), aim the first win against the Italian side since about three years (November 15th 2017 1:2 at Asiago). Overall in AHL history the Sterzing side won only two games against Asiago. The guests, which had their season opener due to Covid-19 past Saturday, remain unbeaten, winning two out of two.

Sat, 31.10.2020, 8.00 pm: HC Pustertal – SHC Fassa Falcons
Referees: GIACOMOZZI F., LAZZERI, Fleischmann, Piras.
The HC Pustertal returns to the Rienzstadion, as they played much better in the running season on home-ice: the “wolves” won all three home-games, scoring nine goals overall and taking only two against. The SHC Fassa Falcons should now also feel this home dominance, especially since the "Falcons" have not yet been able to win the Alps Hockey League (since 2016) in Bruneck. But Fassa is still waiting for a success this season: First there were two defeats against Val Gardena in the return 2-play phase and recently one against Ritten. The "Falcons" have not been compact enough one man down and have conceded 5 goals in 19 box play occassions (69.7% | #15).
