Alessandro Re was absent for Milan while for Asiago there weren’t the brothers Pietroniro and Olivero. The two teams played very careful. After five minutes the Asiago marked the first goal in shorthanded: Naclerio's run and a great pass for Stevan who didn’t make a mistake near the net. Then the match became very hard fought. In the second period the match was balanced. Milan didn’t capitalize 128 seconds of double powerplay. Josè Magnabosco hit the post. In the third time Asiago played more as they built the doubling: Anthony Bardaro scored in backend after a shot from the blue (6 vs 5). Then the match became very physical but the guests close the result with Michele Marchetti well served by Naclerio. Doucet failed a penalty shot. This was the second victory in less than 24 hours for Asiago and second shutout for Frederic Cloutier as in Salzburg (3:0).
06.10.2018: HC Fassa Falcons – VEU Feldkirch 4:7 (0:0,3:5,1:2)

Martin Castlunger opened the games but then Feldkirch scored three goals in just under three minutes with Samardzic Jennes and Pfennich. Halfway through there was the great Fassa reaction that equalized the scored with the Swedish duo Gran and Ostman. But after 33 minutes there was the turn of the game. Winzig, after a mistake by the opposing defense, and then Soudek (shorthanded) lead the Feldkirch to 5:3. From this moment the Austrian formation controlled the game until the final victory for 7: 4.

Seventh consecutive victory for the Wolves as they remained at the top of the standings. Corbett, Teemu Virtala and Piroso were absent for the visitors. Good first half of Gherdeina that put a lot of pressure on Colin Furlong but didn’t find any goal despite the opportunities. Bruneck, on the other hand, scored the first goal with Tommaso Traversa in the scrum. Then the same Traversa doubled in the middle with a splendid goal and achieved in shorthaned (3 vs 5!) after a mistake on the blue line of the Furies. The Gherdeina didn’t find the goal in spite of his game even in powerplay. After spending a lot of energy, the Gherdeina collapsed to the distance and the Wolves took 5:0 with the great experienced players: Gander, Oberrauch and Hofer. Second shutout for Colin Furlong.
