EK Die Zeller Eisbären are currently the benchmark in the Master Round, having won all five of their games so far. On Thursday, they celebrated a commanding 9–2 road victory in Sterzing, their biggest win of the season. Opponents KHL Sisak already trail Zell am See by 12 points with four games remaining, meaning the Croatian side can at best still draw level on points with the league leaders. Their recent form does not suggest such a turnaround, as they have failed to win any of their last three matches. Sisak lost their first Master Round meeting with the Polar Bears at home by 1–3. In the regular season, however, they won two of the three head-to-head encounters.

Asiago aiming for third place
Should Sisak fail to win in Zell am See, HC Migross Asiago could overtake them and move into third place. The Italians currently have the same number of points as Sisak. On Saturday, they face the Wipptal Broncos Weihenstephan, who sit at the bottom of the table with three points. The South Tyroleans have managed just one win from their six Master Round games so far, a 6–5 shootout victory in Sisak. Their first meeting with Asiago in the intermediate round ended in a narrow 1–2 overtime defeat at home, after they had led 1–0 until 101 seconds before the end of the third period. All three regular-season encounters also went Asiago’s way – each by at least three goals difference (5–2, 7–3, 7–3).
