At the start of the 10th round in the bet-at-home ICE Hockey League, Steinbach Black Wings Linz fought their way to a 4-3 home victory over HC Pustertal Wölfe - and left the bottom of the table with their first win of the season after regulation. In the second game on Saturday, league leader Hydro Fehérvár AV19 struggled at HCB Südtirol Alperia, as a strong start to the middle frame helped Bolzano to a 4-3 home win, which also ended Foxes’ losing streak that had lasted over four games.

The Steinbach Black Wings Linz had an almost perfect weekend – and gave up their last place in the standings: After the OT win over Ljubljana on Friday, the Upper Austrians showed a huge comeback against HC Pustertal Wölfe and recorded their first win after regulation. A bus defect of the guests made the game start an hour later. After an even first with one goal each, the "Wolves" snatched the game in the second period, taking a 3:1 lead through a blueline by Daniel Glira (32.) and a wrist shot by Johan Harju (37.). In the final period the home team turned up the heat – and the game around: Brian Lebler (49.) first extended his goal-scoring streak with a shot from the high slot, before Emilio Romig (53.) equalized after a counterattack. The game-winner – his second of the season – was then scored by Will Pelletier (56.).

Bolzano rebuffs leader
HCB Südtirol Alperia put an end to its losing streak and defeated league leader Hydro Fehérvár AV19 4:3 at the Palaonda. With a strong first half in the second period – and three goals within six minutes – the "Foxes" laid the foundation for their third success over the Hungarians in a row. First Dustin Gazley (24.) scored, then Angelo Miceli (25.) and captain Anton Bernard (10./PP1) were successful. However, the leader did not surrender without a fight and came back into the game with two goals within 105 seconds. The Hungarians then went strong for the equalizer, but came out short finally.
