Olimpija Ljubljana can now definitively plan for the 2025 Pre-Playoffs. With a win in their head-to-head matchup against Pioneers Vorarlberg, the Slovenians can no longer be pushed out of the Top-10. The Pioneers, on the other hand, missed an opportunity to close the gap to the Top-10. After a scoreless first period, the team from Feldkirch got on the board first. Oskar Maier, who netted a pair of goals just 24 hours earlier, added another tally at 25:00 to make it 1-0. But the Slovenians turned the game around in the second frame: Rudolf Červený notched a pair of goals to flip the script, and Žiga Pance sealed the deal with an empty-netter for a 3-1 final score.

Migross Supermercati Asiago Hockey struck again. After recent wins over Fehérvár and Pustertal, the Northern Italians added another victory against the spusu Vienna Capitals. The Caps, however, missed a huge opportunity to solidify their hold on tenth place, especially with the simultaneous loss by the Pioneers. After a scoreless opening period, Bryce Misley put the Yellow-Reds on the board short-handed. Matteo Gennaro extended the lead in the final frame with the 2-0, putting the game out of reach. Asiago ultimately triumphed with a 3-0 shutout.
