Referees: KUMMER, WUNTSCHEK, Holzer, Wimmler. I >> PPV-LIVESTREAM <<
With the EK Die Zeller Eisbären also the second league returnee is in action on Tuesday. The team from Salzburg, who are currently in a very good fifth place in the table with three wins in a row, will have to deal with the 15th-placed SHC Fassa Falcons. The Italians could only win one of their five games so far this season. With eight points, Henrik Neubauer is the top scorer of the "Polar Bears" so far. The Swedish-Austrian dual national scored in three of the five games. The 24-years-old is currently tied for fourth place in the scoring charts. Fassa's great strength so far this season is the power play. With a rate of 35.7%, they are in third place in this statistic. In the AHL, both teams have faced each other ten times so far. The balance is even. Both teams prevailed five times each.
Tue, 28.09.2021, 19:30: BEMER VEU Feldkirch - Rittner Buam
Referees: HOLZER, WALLNER, Kainberger, Spiegel. I >> PPV-LIVESTREAM <<
The BEMER VEU Feldkirch had a very bad start into the new season. Of the first three games of the season, they have not been able to win a single one after regular playing time. This means that the Vorarlberg team is only in 16th place in the table. The Rittner Buam, on the other hand, have had a strong start to the season. With ten points, they are in third place in the table. Most recently, they were able to turn a 0:2 deficit against the EC-KAC Future Team into a 4:2 victory. It was the fourth win from the first five games for the premiere champion of the Alps Hockey League. Last season, the two teams dueled twice. Both the VEU and the "Buam" were victorious at home. Overall, Ritten is clearly in front with 9:3 in the H2H.

Referees: BENVEGNU, STEFENELLI, Bedana, Piras. I >> PPV-LIVESTREAM <<
With twelve points from the first six games, Migross Supermercati Asiago Hockey is currently in second place in the table. Last Saturday, last season's finalists were defeated by the EHC Lustenau with 4:3. It was the second defeat of the season for the Italians. The EC-KAC Future Team recently conceded three defeats in a row after a strong start to the season. Last Saturday, they lost with 4:2 to the Rittner Buam despite a 2:0 lead. With seven points, the Klagenfurt team is currently in ninth place in the table. In tomorrow's duel, the 2018 champion from Asiago is the clear favorite, because in all ten duels with the KFT they kept the upper hand so far.
Tue, 28.09.2021, 20:30: HC Gherdeina valgardena.it - HC Merano/o Pircher
Referees: EGGER, MOSCHEN, Brondi, Cristeli. I >> PPV-LIVESTREAM <<
The final match on Tuesday will be between the HC Gherdeina valgardena.it and the HC Merano/o Pircher. The hosts started with three defeats from the first three games conceivably badly into the new season. Most recently, however, two away victories followed in Kitzbühel (5:3) and in Ritten (4:3). Thus, the "Furie" is currently twelfth in the table. League newcomer Merano/o is placed two places ahead of Val Gardena. The "Eagles" celebrated a 3:2 home win over Sterzing in their last match. In addition, they won surprisingly at the current league leader Jesenice with 2:1 after shootout at the season opener. Since then, they have not had to play an away match. For Gherdeina it will be the third home match of the season. So far, they were defeated at home by Zell am See (2:3) and Asiago (0:5).
