Pioneers turn the tables on Pustertal

The night could hardly have started worse for the Pioneers: Gerry Fitzgerald put Pustertal ahead after just nine seconds, the fastest goal of the season, and added another shortly after. Vorarlberg had yet to win a game this season. Brycen Martin got one back, and early in the second period Noah Serdachny, Guus van Nes and Blake Murray turned the game around within 3:21. Serdachny struck again on a five-on-three in the third. Pustertal pulled within one before Jesse Seppälä shorthanded and Marcus Kallionkieli sealed the first win in the Pioneers' 19th game with two empty-net goals. For the Wolves, it was a second straight loss after a six-game winning streak.

Graz end Bolzano's home streak

Bolzano had won all seven of their home games this season. Against Graz, the Foxes erased an early deficit in the second period on a power-play goal from Brad McClure and a tally from Daniel Mantenuto. Graz answered in the third: Tim Harnisch tied it, Nick Swaney scored the go-ahead goal on the power play and Michael Schiechl added an empty-netter. Despite their first home loss, Bolzano remain in first place, level on points with Linz and ahead on goal difference.

Linz win in Vienna

The Black Wings struck early in Vienna, with Emilio Romig and Kyle Topping scoring inside the first six minutes. Konstantin Komarek got one back in the first period, but Dylan Wells shut the door from there, stopping 34 of 35 shots. Linz have now won all twelve games in which they scored first.

Fast start for KAC against Innsbruck

Travis St. Denis gave KAC the lead after 32 seconds. Jan Drozg and Daniel Obersteiner scored twice each, and Innsbruck pulled within one twice but could get no closer. KAC defenseman Jacob Hudson received a game misconduct for a check to the head in the third period.

Salzburg stop Ljubljana

Joshua Lawrence put Ljubljana ahead, but Salzburg scored the next four. Michael Raffl scored twice, once on the power play, as the Red Bulls ended the Slovenians' winning streak.

Budapest hold off Fehérvár

In the Hungarian derby, FTC-Telekom led 4-0 after 40 minutes. András Mihalik opened the scoring on the power play, and Jussi Tammela added a shorthanded goal. Fehérvár scored four times in the third, two from Michael Cyr, but could not find the equalizer.
