KAC celebrates derby shutout
Klagenfurt dominated the game right from the beginning. Despite being more than eight minutes in the offensive zone and having a 11:2 advantage in shots on goal, the first ended goalless. The home crowd had to wait until the 32nd minute when Andrew Kozek opened the scoring. He fired in a one timer after a Hundertpfund pass. In the third period Johannes Bischofberger added a second goal while playing shorthanded and soon later Kozek made it safe with his second of the night. With David Madlener posting his fifth season shutout, KAC won 3:0 and moved up to fourth place.


Capitals get regular season sweep against Znojmo

The spusu Vienna Capitals also won the fourth season meeting with Znojmo after turning the game around on Sunday. After a goalless first, the hosts hit the post twice in the second period. Shortly before the second break Znojmo took the lead when top scorer Anthony Luciani scored a shorthander. It took Vienna almost 44 minutes until Ty Loney broke the spell and tied it at one. With ten minutes to go Dario Winkler gave the hosts a lead with a deflection after a nice play by Julian Grosslercher.


Salzburg decides game in Innsbruck in third period

Despite Salzburg taking an early lead (Connor Brickley 2'), Innsbruck bounced back. First, HCI captain Tyler Spurgeon tied it on powerplay and just 70 seconds later Michael Boivin put the sharks ahead. With his first Erste Bank Eishockey Liga goal, Paul Huber tied it shortly before the first intermission. In an even-balanced second period, Dominique Heinrich scored the lone goal for a 3:2 Salzburg lead. In the third 17-year-old Kilian Leitner replaced injured Scott Darling in the Innsbruck net. After the hosts wasted some chances for an equalizer, Mario Huber gave the guests a two-goal lead. The leader piled the pressure and scored four more goals for a 8:2 road win.


Second successive home win for Linz

Fehervar generated some good chances early in the game but could not score. Linz did better with Hutner Fejes and Dan DaSilva giving the hosts a 2:0 lead. Shortly after Scott Timmins got the Hungarians on the scoreboard, Rick Schofield restored the two-goal lead. In the second period the Black Wings kept going and Umicevic, Finn and DaSilva added three more goals for a 6:1. Despite Fehervar scoring three unanswered goals, t did not become a close game anymore as Fejes finished the scoring with his second of the night for a 8:4 Linz win.
