Hydro Fehérvár AV19 – HC Falkensteiner Pustertal 0–3 (0–0, 0–2, 0–1)
Both teams came off losses the night before. Less than 24 hours later, the opening period was evenly matched but scoreless. Early in the second, the visitors took control and broke the deadlock in the 27th minute: Matthias Mantinger first hit the post, then was denied by Fehérvár goalie Harri Tirronen, but converted on his third attempt with a backhand finish. Nick Saracino doubled the lead on the power play later in the period. The hosts pushed hard in the final frame and even had a penalty shot, but Eddie Pasquale stood tall, recording his third shutout of the season. Daniel Glira sealed the 3–0 win with an empty-net goal. For Fehérvár, it was their sixth straight defeat.

FTC-Telekom – Olimpija Ljubljana 3–4 (1–1, 0–2, 2–1)
Following their 4–3 win in Székesfehérvár, Olimpija repeated the scoreline in Budapest. The Slovenians took the lead through Marcel Mahkovec, who finished off a fine combination, but Tyler Coulter tied it late in the first. In the middle frame, Olimpija pulled ahead 3–1, only for Ferencváros to rally in the third with two power-play goals. However, a late penalty cost the hosts dearly, as TJ Brennan netted his second of the night—and the decisive goal—just four seconds before the buzzer. The victory extends Olimpija’s cushion above the non-playoff zone and marks their fourth win in the last five games.
