Hottest Team in the League Challenges League Leaders | Game Reschedules

Moser Medical Graz99ers vs. Olimpija Ljubljana
The Graz99ers aim to bounce back after tough losses to EC KAC and Fehérvár AV19, with a home game against Olimpija Ljubljana. Head coach Harry Lange demands a more disciplined performance against the Slovenians, who recently lost to Asiago and sit seventh in the standings with 28 points, just within reach of the upper table. The Graz99ers, currently fourth, face pressure from close competitors. This will be the third meeting between the teams this season, with each winning one game so far.

EC Red Bull Salzburg vs. Pioneers Vorarlberg
EC Red Bull Salzburg hosts Pioneers Vorarlberg as clear favorites, riding a six-game win streak, including a CHL quarterfinal victory. Salzburg boasts a lethal power play but struggled in their last meeting with Vorarlberg, needing overtime to secure the win. The Pioneers, battling roster challenges, rely on surprise plays and top scorers Passolt, Keefer, and Gilmour. Salzburg aims to keep climbing toward the league’s top duo while holding off chasing teams.

EC iDM Wärmepumpen VSV vs. HCB Südtirol Alperia
Tenth-place Villach hosts second-place HCB Südtirol Alperia. While Bolzano showcases consistent form and a standout goalie, Villach shines in power-play situations. Their last meeting in Bolzano ended in a narrow defeat for Villach, who now hope home ice can tip the scales. Bolzano relies on their offensive depth, while Villach banks on Kevin Hancock, who has excelled against Bolzano in past matchups. The game will air live on DAZN-Italy.

Hydro Fehérvár AV19 vs. Steinbach Black Wings Linz
The Black Wings Linz travel to face league-leaders Fehérvár, powered by six straight victories driven by cohesive team play and stellar goaltending. Fehérvár counters with balanced scoring and standout netminder Rasmus Reijola. The Hungarian squad took the first meeting this season, but Linz looks to upset them at the Alba Arena, extend their streak, and close the gap on the top two.

HC TIWAG Innsbruck vs. EC-KAC
The EC-KAC rolls into Innsbruck with four straight road wins, aiming to extend their streak. Innsbruck, seeking consistency, struggles with an offense that’s lacked spark recently. KAC boasts an efficient power play and improved defense, while Innsbruck is desperate to capitalize on home ice to stop their slide in the standings.

HC Pustertal vs. Migross Supermercati Asiago Hockey
Under pressure after five consecutive losses, HC Pustertal needs points against Asiago to stay in the pre-playoff hunt. Asiago, showing newfound confidence despite missing top scorers, arrives in South Tyrol ready to compete. Pustertal relies on their home advantage and balanced team effort to secure a crucial win in this six-point game against a direct playoff competitor.
