After three losses in a row lately - and only one goal scored in over 180 minutes - EC-KAC put an end to its negative trend with a clear 6-3 road win over HC TIWAG Innsbruck - Die Haie. In a game marked by many penalties (18/20 PIM), the Klagenfurt power play unit led by Thomas Koch made the difference: the 38-year-old veteran shone in a 5-point game and scored his first hat trick in almost five years (November 15th, 2016 in a 4:3 SO win over Salzburg). The "Rotjacken" were already 6-1 ahead after 42 minutes - and had decided the game early.

The decision was made even earlier for Klagenfurt's local rival EC GRAND Immo VSV in its 6:1 home win over HC Orli Znojmo. The Carinthians got off a brilliant start, were 4-0 up after less than 14 minutes thanks to goals of Hughes (7.), Lanzinger (12.), Maxa (13.) and Krastenbergs (14.). Znojmo, the strongest offensive ICE team up to that point with an average of five goals, had few chances - only Ryan Culkin (18./PP1) got scored. Andreas Bernard stopped 17 of the 18 shots on his goal.

First ICE shutouts for Peters and Us
With Anthony Peters (Moser Medical Graz99ers) and Zan Us (HK SZ Olimpija Ljubljana) two goalies celebrated their first shutout in the bet-at-home ICE Hockey League on Sunday. Peters, who missed Friday's 3-9 defeat in Znojmo due to injury, stopped all 33 shots on goal - which meant that the Steinbach Black Wings Linz, got defeated 0-2, lost their sixth game of the season too and went scoreless for the third time. Ken Ograjensek (24.) and Mike Zalewski (43.) scored the goals for Graz.

For the Slovenians, Zan Us shone at the spusu Vienna Capitals with 16 saves - ultimately helping his team to a 1-0 road win in Vienna. Aleksandar Magovac (21./PP2) scored the decisive goal on the way to the fourth win of the season for the "Dragons", which are ranked second after six rounds.

First home win for Pustertal
HC Pustertal Wölfe celebrated its first win in the second home game in the new Intercable Arena. Against the Dornbirn Bulldogs, the ICE newcomer won 2-1 after penalty shootout. Emil Kristensen (41.) turned the deficit in the power play, Johan Harju scored the decisive penalty. With Thomas Sholl (PUS) 97.3% and Lukas Herzog (98%) both goalies had a great night.
