Release from 28.10.2026
Four of Wednesday's five games in the win2day ICE Hockey League went to the home side. League leaders HCB Südtirol Alperia and second-placed Steinbach Black Wings Linz both won, Bolzano thanks to a late goal against EC iDM Wärmepumpen VSV. FTC-Telekom needed overtime to get past defending champions Moser Medical Graz99ers, while EC Red Bull Salzburg won their fourth straight game under their new head coach. Olimpija Ljubljana were the only road winners.
Schneider seals fifth straight win for Bolzano
Bolzano got revenge on VSV for their overtime loss in Villach in early October. The Carinthians took the lead in the first period before the Foxes turned it around in the second. Kevin Hancock tied it for Villach, but Cole Schneider scored the winner just over four minutes from time.
Linz keep Innsbruck at bay
Linz got off to a flying start against HC TIWAG Innsbruck and led 3-0 after less than eight minutes. Innsbruck pulled within one with two goals in just over a minute in the second period but could not find the equalizer. Shawn St-Amant sealed it with an empty-net goal late on. It was Innsbruck's fifth straight loss.
Heljanko decides thriller in Budapest
FTC-Telekom snapped a three-game losing streak with a win over Graz but needed overtime to do it. The Hungarians led by three goals in the second period, but the defending champions got one back before the second intermission and pulled level in the third, with Frank Hora tying it 63 seconds from time. Rasmus Heljanko settled it in overtime with his second goal of the night, having earlier scored shorthanded.
Rattie fires Salzburg to another win
Salzburg have now won all four games under head coach Teemu Levijoki. Both teams scored on the power play against the Vienna Capitals before Ty Rattie netted the winner in the third period. It was the Capitals' third straight defeat.
Olimpija turn it around in Feldkirch
Pioneers Vorarlberg took the lead against Olimpija and were ahead after the first period. From then on, only the visitors scored: two goals in the second period turned the game around, and the Slovenians made it 4-1 with two goals 23 seconds apart early in the third. The Pioneers are still looking for their first win of the season after 16 games.
