Standings in the "best-of-7" semifinal series 0:3

Ritten has its back to the wall in the series. On Tuesday, the South Tyroleans failed once again in the 0:1 defeat after overtime due to missed chances and Jesenice goalie Antti Karjalainen, who was able to stop all 31 shots. With a goals against average (GAA) of 0.54 and a .979 save percentage, the Finn clearly leads the playoff statistics. The Slovenians are the only team still undefeated in the playoffs, and they need one more win to make it to the final. In the league history, only Asiago managed to reach the final without defeat in the 2018 playoffs. Jesenice won the first semi-final duel in Klobenstein with 3:0.

Standings in the "best-of-7" semifinal series 2:1

After nine wins, Salzburg's home series came to an end on Monday with a clear 1:6 defeat against Cortina. The Italians thus also took the 2:1 lead in the "best-of-7" semifinal series. Diego Cuglietta and Tommaso Traversa, who lead the league-wide playoff scoring list with 12 and 10 points, have played a big role in Cortina's current run of success. The top-seeded Austrians are trailing for the first time in the postseason, but they have not lost three straight games this season. Of ten matches at Cortina, the Red Bulls won five.
