Hydro Fehérvár AV19 recorded its 16th win of the season after regulation with a 5-3 home victory over HC TIWAG Innsbruck - Die Haie – more than any other team in the win2day ICE Hockey League season 23/24 so far. As in the 3-2 home win over EC iDM Wärmepumpen VSV the night before, the Hungarians, which did not take a penalty for the second game in a row, trailed by one goal twice, Kevin Roy (14. and 25.) scoring both goals for the Tyroleans. Fehérvár managed the turnaround again in the final period: Istvan Terbocs (45.), Guillaume Leclerc (49./PP1) and Akos Mihaly (55.) turned the game around within ten minutes. In the end, Innsbruck, which swapped back-up goalie Markus Gratzer for a sixth skater early on in his second competitive outing, reduced the deficit to 3-4 but immediately conceded an empty-netter.

Linz cheers first road-win after one and a half month
The Steinbach Black Wings Linz have put an end to their losing streak in away games: After four defeats on the road in a row, the second-placed team celebrated a 4-1 win at HC Pustertal Wölfe. Goals from Brian Lebler (20.) and Graham Knott (40./SH1) - with 56 and 13 seconds respectively - just before the first and second periods gave the visitors an advantage after two periods. Jakob Mitch (45.) then added his second goal of the season. The "Wolves'" final offensive brought the consolation goal through Alex Petan (50.) in the power play. Brian Lebler finally scored his third multiple-goal game of the season with an empty-netter.
