As in game one, HDD SIJ Acroni Jesenice took the lead first on Tuesday. Defenseman Nejc Bruce made the Jesenice rink really loud in the seventh minute. For him it was the second goal in the ongoing playoffs of the Alps Hockey League. Migross Supermercati Asiago Hockey managed to equalize quickly, but the Slovenians went ahead again before the end of the first period. As in the first final game, the Yellow-Red again took control in the second period. Goals by Lorenzo Casetti and Michele Marchetti brought the first lead for the guests from Asiago. This time, the Slovenians were able to add to their tally in the final period, leveling the scores just under seven minutes before the supposed end through a Luka Scap blueliner. The Slovenians started the overtime with a powerplay and also found the quick decision. Jesperi Viikila successfully completed a patiently played power play offense in the 61st minute.

The third game of the "best-of-five" final series will be played already on Thursday in Asiago.
