Hydro Fehérvár AV19 got off a good start into the back to back games with Moser Medical Graz99ers, had good chances to take the lead already in the first minutes. But then the Styrians improved and took the lead thanks to a late powerplay goal by Mike Zalewski (19./PP1). Also in the second period, the Graz team was clearly more efficient: While the Hungarians failed several times, Zalewski scored his second (26.) and Adis Alagic (37.) extended. The 3:0 was perfectly assisted by Michael Schiechl, who served the puck from behind the net into the slot. In the final period, the Hungarians tried everything to give the game a turn - already about ten minutes before the end, goalie Rasmus Tirronen was pulled. Janos Hari (52./PP1) scored the first goal for the guests in a 4-on-3 powerplay occasion, but Christian Engstrand saved all further shots and fixed the third Graz home win in a row with 27 saves. Fehervar lost for the third consecutive game, but remains in third place.

Villach topps Innsbruck again
EC GRAND Immo VSV won the second duel with HC TIWAG Innsbruck - Die Haie too, as the 4:2 in the TIWAG Arena was Villach's seventh win in a row, Innsbruck conceded the fourth consecutive defeat and lost a little bit the connection to the tenth place in the table. Marco Richter (9.) let the "Adler" continue where they left off on Wednesday. Nico Brunner (24.) and Chris Collins (29.) cleared it about halfway through the game. But the "Sharks" did not give up, used two powerplays in the final period to connect, Magwood (43.) and Lattner (51.) scored. But Chris Collins (54.) successfully completed a three-on-two and again recorded a brace to seal the deal for Villach.
