Vorauer posts derby shutout
After a scoreless first period, KAC decided the derby in the middle frame. Daniel Obersteiner broke the deadlock, and Mattias Göransson and Travis St. Denis added to the lead before the second intermission. EC iDM Wärmepumpen VSV turned up the pressure in the third and clearly outshot their opponents, but could not beat Florian Vorauer. The KAC goalie stopped all 39 shots he faced for the shutout.
 
Lawrence leads Ljubljana to win in Bruneck
An open first period produced five goals. Pustertal took the lead twice, Marly Quince tied it up both times, and Ljubljana eventually carried a one-goal lead into the intermission. The hosts tied the game on the power play in the second, but Joshua Lawrence answered just 22 seconds later, also on the man advantage. In the third, the visitors added two more goals to seal the result. League scoring leader Lawrence had a hand in three goals and set up both of Quince’s tallies.
