Hydro Fehérvár AV19 is already three games in a row without conceding a goal. The shutout series was initiated by Canadian keeper Olivier Roy against BEMER Pioneers Vorarlberg. For the next two games against Migross Supermercati Asiago and HC Pustertal Dominik Horvath, who has only been part of the professional team of Hydro Fehérvár AV19 since this season, took over. The 21-year-old native of Székesfehérvár has started between the pipes seven times in his first professional year, keeping two clean sheets - just the last two games. Fehérvár's first goalie Olivier Roy currently holds at four shutouts.

KAC holds historic record
On Friday, the goalkeeper team of Hydro Fehérvár AV 19 could crack the historical best of the EC-KAC. The "Redcoats" remained in December 2019 even for four games or for 262 minutes and 02 seconds without conceding a goal. The Hungarians are still 42 minutes and 30 seconds - just over two-thirds - short of a new all-time record. At the time, Klagenfurt replaced HC TIWAG Innsbruck, who had been the record holder for just under twelve years with 250 minutes and 18 seconds.

However, it will not be an easy task for the Hungarians, as they will face EC iDM Wärmepumpen VSV at home. The Carinthians recently celebrated four wins in a row and are two places ahead of the runners-up in fourth position. The two teams have faced each other eight times in 2022. In these matches, the average number of goals scored was over seven. The match will be shown on pay-per-view stream on www.live.ice.hockey.
