After the 4:3 overtime win against Linz on 30 December, Sterzing played their first game in the new year against Jesenice. The home side had to do without Paul Eisendle and Daniel Erlacher, but could still play with four lines. Ziga Kogovsek was the goalkeeper for the league leaders, while for Jure Sotlar it was a duel with his former club. Both teams were looking for the offensive in the beginning. Sotlar and Salo tested WSV goalkeeper Rabanser, and in the fifth minute Stojan took the lead. But the home side had an answer ready: Lucas Chiodo put the score at 1:1 with a one timer and thus scored also in his second game for the Broncos. But only two minutes later Ulamec regained the lead. It got even better for the Slovenians, Elo used the first powerplay to make it 1:3. In the middle period, the guests acted from a safe defence, Sterzing hardly created any chances. Jesenice waited patiently for opportunities and Pance increased the lead to 1:4 in the 37th minute. Only 28 seconds after the restart, a Gschnitzer goal gave the home side hope again. But the league leaders again showed their strength on power play and Saso Rajsar scored the final 2:5. Jesenice thus celebrated their eighth win in a row.
