Moser Medical Graz99ers – spusu Vienna Capitals 3–1 (0–0, 1–1, 2–0)
The in-form Graz side claimed another win under new head coach Dan Lacroix. After a goalless first period, Josh Currie opened the scoring on the power play, but just 70 seconds later, Zane Franklin equalized with a fine effort for the severely short-handed visitors. In the final period, Kevin Roy restored the lead for Graz before Currie sealed the deal with an empty-netter. With their fifth straight win, the 99ers returned to the top of the table.

HC Falkensteiner Pustertal – EC-KAC 0–4 (0–3, 0–0, 0–1)
KAC laid the foundation for their win in Bruneck early, taking a 3–0 lead in the first period. Mario Kempe opened the scoring just 71 seconds in with the first shot on goal. From doubled the lead after winning a puck battle, and Schwinger added a third. Early in the final period, Maier made it 4–0 to complete the scoring. Goalie Sebastian Dahm recorded his 50th league shutout, while KAC moved up to second and Pustertal dropped to third.

Hydro Fehérvár AV19 – HK Olimpija Ljubljana 3–1 (0–1, 1–0, 2–0)
Fehérvár took revenge for their narrow loss in the first meeting of the season. The Slovenians, still in fourth place, went ahead in the first period through a power-play goal by Quince, but Varga tied it up midway through the game. In the final period, power-play goals from Hari and Campbell secured the win for the home team.

EC iDM Wärmepumpen VSV – HCB Südtirol Alperia 4–1 (0–0, 3–0, 1–1)
A successful debut for new VSV head coach Pierre Allard: after a scoreless first period in which Bolzano had slight advantages, Villach took control in the second. Within around two minutes, Helewka, Hutchison, and Wallenta struck three times for a comfortable lead. Bradley pulled one back, but the comeback never materialized. Former Bolzano forward Helewka capped the win with an empty-netter as VSV returned to the top six.

FTC-Telekom – EC Red Bull Salzburg 2–1 (1–0, 1–1, 0–0)
After an even start, the home side went ahead in the eighth minute when Tyler Coulter finished off a quick offensive move. Defending champions Salzburg equalized in the middle frame with a power-play goal from Connor Corcoran, but FTC regained the lead before the second intermission through Lindgren. The Red Bulls struggled to convert their few chances and ultimately fell narrowly short.

Steinbach Black Wings Linz – HC TIWAG Innsbruck 5–4 OT (1–1, 2–1, 1–2)
Linz opened their home-game week with a win but let a two-goal lead slip away late in regulation. The Black Wings scored early in both the first and second periods and were up 4–2 by the 56th minute, but goals from Lajeunesse and Corbeil sent the game to overtime. There, Brian Lebler decided it on a power play, extending Linz’s cushion over 11th place.
