The win2day ICE Hockey League will see an early seventh round game between Steinbach Black Wings Linz and EC-KAC on Tuesday. While Linz started the season with a 0:5 defeat in Bolzano on Friday, the KAC has already been in action twice at home and had to go into overtime both times.

The EC iDM Wärmepumpen VSV was active on the transfer market. The “Eagles” signed the young defenseman Daniil Kulintsev. The 22-year-old Estonian, who also has Finnish citizenship, will strengthen the Eagles's defense in the current season after Mark Katic will miss longer than expected due to injury.

On Friday, the EC-KAC managed an impressive turnaround in the final rematch against Salzburg: They turned a 1:3 deficit until four and a half minutes before the end of the game into a 4:3/SO. On Sunday, however, Klagenfurt lost to Olimpija Ljubljana 3:4/OT. After two rounds, the KAC are in sixth place in the table with three points. Steinbach Black Wings Linz played in Bolzano on Friday, where they started the season with a clear 0:5 defeat. Linz's memories of the KAC are not positive either, as the Carinthians won all four meetings last season, three of them by just one goal.

Villach signs Daniil Kulintsev
The EC iDM Wärmepumpen VSV has signed the young defenseman Daniil Kulintsev. The 22-year-old Estonian, who also has Finnish citizenship, will strengthen the Eagles' defense this season after Mark Katic will miss longer than expected due to injury. After years in the junior ranks of the Finnish SM-Liiga club Saimaan Pallo (SaiPa) and in the junior squad of the Estonian national team, the 22-year-old decided to join the second-highest Austrian league, the Alps Hockey League, in 2023. With 14 goals and 41 assists from 43 games with the “ECB, the 186 cm tall defender then made a big impression. He was by far the best defender in the league in terms of points and was also called up for the Estonian national team for the Olympic qualifiers and the World Championship.
