EC Red Bull Salzburg were defeated 1-2 on the road by the Odense Bulldogs in the Champions Hockey League. After conceding an early goal, Connor Corcoran equalized on the power play in the first period. In the second period, Salzburg hurt themselves with numerous penalties. They survived several shorthanded situations but eventually conceded the 1-2 goal at even strength. In the final frame, the Red Bulls pressed hard for the equalizer, creating several good scoring chances but failing to find the net.

HCB Südtirol Alperia had a strong start in their home game against ERC Ingolstadt. Shane Gerisch put the hosts ahead in the 16th minute with a backhand rebound. Shortly after, Matt Bradley made it 2-0. The German side equalized in the middle frame with two goals in five minutes, and in the third period, the visitors turned the game in their favor. The 2-3 scoreline remained until the final buzzer.

A severely depleted EC-KAC suffered a 1-4 home defeat to GKS Tychy. Klagenfurt took the lead shortly before the second intermission when Nick Petersen scored off a Nickl pass. However, the Carinthians could not build on their momentum, and the Polish side came back to claim victory. Following the tying goal, Tychy struck twice on the power play and sealed the win with an empty-netter.

Heading into the final matchday, all three win2day ICE Hockey League representatives still have a chance to reach the round of 16. Salzburg and Klagenfurt currently sit inside the top-16.
