Referees: DURCHNER, FAJDIGA, Schonaklener, Voican.
League leader HDD SIJ Acroni Jesenice has a tight program to complete these days: After the home game on Friday against Feldkirch, the Slovenians, who are undefeated since five games, welcome the Wipptal Broncos Weihenstephan on Saturday. The South Tyroleans have also had a good start to the season, winning four out of five and are in fifth place. Only on Thursday the "Broncos" made up a deficit twice in Cortina. The last duel between the two teams was won by Sterzing, but Jesenice won six in a row before that.
Sat, 02.10.2021, 18.30: HC Gherdeina valgardena.it - Red Bull Hockey Juniors
Referees: LAZZERI, VIRTA, Bedana, De Zordo. I >> PPV-LIVESTREAM <<
The HC Gherdeina valgardena.it aims for its first home win in the young season - three defeats so far on home ice - and challenges the Red Bull Hockey Juniors. The Austrians were defeated twice last time with 3:4. In eleventh place, they are immediately ahead of the South Tyroleans, who have two points less with six points. Salzburg is struggling especially with its performance when shorthanded (65.2%). In the last eleven direct encounters, Salzburg has always scored, celebrating eight victories.
Sat, 02.10.2021, 19.00: EC-KAC Future Team - BEMER VEU Feldkirch
Referees: GROZNIK, REZEK, Holzer, Schweighofer. I >> PPV-LIVESTREAM <<
After Friday's game in Jesenice, the BEMER VEU Feldkirch will play its second game within 24 hours at the EC-KAC Future Team on Saturday. There the Vorarlberg team, who has only two points after four games, are out for revenge for the 1:4 defeat from the first season encounter. Especially in the offense, the VEU needs to become more efficient: Six goals from four games is the weakest value of all teams. In return, they act disciplined, drew only nine penalties and conceded only one power play goal (88.9%). The seventh-ranked Klagenfurt team ended their losing streak on Thursday, winning against Linz after four losses in a row. Six different players scored in the 6:2 win.
Sat, 02.10.2021, 19.30: EHC Lustenau - EK Die Zeller Eisbären
Referees: RUETZ, SCHAUER, Eisl, Rinker. I >> PPV-LIVESTREAM <<
The EHC Lustenau also have two games this weekend - both of which last year's semifinalists will play at home. Remy Giftopoulos, last year's top scorer (32) in the Alps Hockey League for Cortina, arrived in Lustenau on Thursday and will make his debut. On Saturday, the EK Die Zeller Eisbären will be the guest in Lustenau and will look to prolong their top form there. Four wins celebrated the returnee recently in a row, with 13 points they are in fourth place. The Vorarlberg team is in sixth place, has failed to score only once so far and gained confidence last weekend: They turned a 1:3 deficit into a 4:3 win at home against Asiago.
Sat, 02.10.2021, 19.30: EC Bregenzerwald - Vienna Capitals Silver
Referees: BRUNNER, HUBER, Moidl, Reisinger. I >> PPV-LIVESTREAM <<
The first stop of the Vienna Capitals Silver on their road trip is the EC Bregenzerwald. There, the winless and pointless bottom team of the Alps Hockey League fights for first points. The ECB has only played three games this season: they lost against Fassa and Salzburg, but surprised in Asiago. Both teams are struggling with their shorthanded play: Vienna is in 14th place with 66.7%, while Bregenzerwald is in last place with 57.1%. The previous two meetings between these two teams ended in a 4:4 draw after 60 minutes - Vienna got the extra point in the penalty shootout, ECB in overtime.

Referees: LOICHT, OREL, Legat, Puff. I >> PPV-LIVESTREAM <<
After the last ten days off, the Steel Wings Linz suffered a 2:6 defeat in Klagenfurt on Thursday - and also lost Manuel Feldbaumer with an injury. In front of their home crowd, the Upper Austrians are looking for their second win of the season against the EC Die Adler Stadtwerke Kitzbühel. For this, however, the team of Head Coach Phil Lukas needs to increase in the special teams, both in the PP (8.3%) and in the PK (66.7%). The "Eagles", on the other hand, have started the season well, scoring in four of five games, winning three of them.
Sat, 02.10.2021, 20.30: SHC Fassa Falcons - HC Meran/o Pircher

Merano/o remained victorious in both away games this season, most recently at HC Gherdeina valgardena.it (4:3). The 39-years-old 2006 Olympian Christian Borgatello scored the game-winner one minute and 21 seconds before the end of the game in the power play.
