Short text 596 CharactersPlain text

On Saturday, "Game Seven" will decide on the winner of the quarter-final series between Hydro Fehérvár AV19 and HC Pustertal Wölfe. Both teams have won their three home games so far – and are therefore equally far away from reaching the semifinals. The Hungarians have the chance to reach the semifinals for the second time since joining the league, while the South Tyroleans have never survived a quarterfinal series.

The game will be streamed live and for free on www.puls24.at/eishockey and in the Joyn app. The game will be available on www.live.ice.hockey (PPV) with Hungarian commentary.

Hydro Fehérvár AV19 and HC Pustertal Wölfe will play the all-important game in their "best-of-7" quarter-final series in Székesfehérvár on Saturday evening. Both teams have won their home games so far. However, the South Tyroleans, which are playing for a place in the semifinals for the first time, have yet to win away from home in postseason games: The Wolves have been part of the win2day ICE Hockey League since the 2021-22 season and have played six road games in the playoffs since then – none of which they have won. Five of these six games were at the Hungarians.

These two teams already faced off in the 2022 postseason, when the Hungarians swept their way into the semifinals. Before and after that, Head Coach David Kiss's team never made it to the semifinals again.

Both teams are also making their "Game Seven" debut. If you look back at the previous showdowns in best-of-7 series – you can do so in detail here - it remains that over 80% (4/19) of these encounters were won by the home team. In the quarterfinals, where there have been nine "Game Seven" matches at this stage, the road team has never won.
