EC-KAC – Moser Medical Graz99ers 2–3 OT
Graz regained the league lead with their second win of the season in Klagenfurt. After a goalless opening period, the Red Jackets jumped ahead in the middle frame with power-play goals from van Ee and Kempe. The visitors were often denied by KAC goalie Dahm until Collins and Haudum tied the game with two goals in just 52 seconds late in regulation. Nick Bailen then netted the game-winner on the power play in overtime for the 99ers.

HC TIWAG Innsbruck – Olimpija Ljubljana 1–3
Despite numerous chances, Innsbruck again came up empty and lost 1–3 to Olimpija Ljubljana. Simsic, Bukovec, and Sabolic found the net for the Slovenians, while Coatta’s power-play goal was the only response for the Sharks. Though they showed fighting spirit, their finishing remained lacking. With the win, third-placed Ljubljana stay close behind the leading duo.

FTC-Telekom – HCB Südtirol Alperia 1–3
After losing in Vienna, HCB Südtirol Alperia wrapped up their road trip with a morale-boosting 3–1 victory over FTC-Telekom. Following Shaw’s opening goal for Budapest, the Foxes turned the game around in the second period through Digiacinto and Misley. McClure added the insurance marker for HCB, who showed strong resolve despite multiple absences. Goaltender Harvey replaced the injured Vallini in the first period and helped secure the win.

Vienna Capitals – EC Red Bull Salzburg 2–4
EC Red Bull Salzburg returned to the winning column and climbed back into the Top 6. The reigning champion came from 0–2 down to defeat the Vienna Capitals 4–2. Souch and Kromp scored power-play goals for Vienna, but Michael Raffl pulled one back before Brandon Coe and Troy Bourke completed the turnaround. In front of 6,510 fans, Mario Huber sealed the deal for Salzburg.

Pioneers Vorarlberg – Hydro Fehérvár AV19 4–1
The Pioneers Vorarlberg celebrated their second win of the weekend with a 4–1 home success over Hydro Fehérvár AV19. New signing Michael Kernberger again scored the game-winner, as he did in his debut, while Florchuk added a pair and Macierzynski also struck.
