The Vienna Capitals Silver continue their intensive program on Saturday with the second away game in a row, hosting third-place Rittner Buam.

Sa, 16.10.2021, 7.00 pm: EC-KAC Future Team – HC Meran/o Pircher
Referees: FAJDIGA, LESNIAK, Holzer, Javornik. | >> PPV-Livestream <<
After a strong start with four wins out of the first six games, AHL newcomer HC Meran/o Pircher has recently stumbled badly: In the last three rounds they suffered three clear defeats - without scoring a goal. The South Tyroleans are thus for over 180 minutes without scoring and slipped in the table on the twelfth place. Competitor EC-KAC Future Team also suffered defeats in the last three rounds and hopes to reverse the trend against the newcomer. Especially on the power play, both teams (HCM 13.8% and KFT 11.5%) still have potential.

Linz also won its last two games - and also the first season duel with the "Adler" on October 2. Despite a 2:0 lead, Philipp Lukas' team only prevailed after a penalty shootout.

After their remarkable win over leader HDD SIJ Acroni Jesenice, EK Die Zeller Eisbären travels to EC Bregenzerwald on Saturday in order not to lose sight of the top 5 teams with their sixth win of the season. The "Polar Bears" will rely on their top scorer Henrik Neubauer (9G|7A), who has yet to score a point in any of the ten games this season. For the neo-Zeller Daniel Ban, Felix Zipperle, Jesper Åkerman and Maximilian Egger it comes to the duel with the ex-club, which can build on its powerplay strength (35.7% | #2) and the top form of Roberts Lipsbergs: The Latvian recorded a total of 10 points (5G|5A) in the last two wins.

In its fourth home game in a row, Migross Supermercati Asiago Hockey will face S.G. Cortina Hafro. The reigning vice-champion has won the last three games in a commanding manner, 16:3 goals is the record - and with that the Italians could also draw level with leader Jesenice. Opponents Cortina, who recently returned to winning ways in Merano, were beaten 1:4 in their first encounter with Asiago. In general, the Ampezzani, they provide the best penalty killing in the league (90.9%), have lost the last six Derby Veneto across competitions. For Asiago it is the last test before the Continental Cup break in Amies, France.
