Both the spusu Vienna Capitals (3:5 against Salzburg) and the Pioneers Vorarlberg (2:5 at Fehérvár) suffered defeats the day before. On Saturday, both teams initially played from a secure defence and the game went into the first break goalless. The visitors took the lead in the middle period, with Jacob Lundegård (24') scoring after a pass from Maier. Things got even better for the team from Feldkirch, who capitalised on their first powerplay situation through Josh Passolt to make it 2:0. Passolt scored the third goal ten minutes before the end, getting his first hat-trick in the win2day ICE Hockey League with an empty-netter to clinch the game. Pioneers goalie Alex Caffi, who was a strong support for his team, came close to a shutout, but then Zane Franklin scored for the Viennese team two minutes before the end.

Perfect road trip for Graz
Graz travelled to Bruneck with a sense of achievement (5:2 in Asiago). The hosts, on the other hand, were narrowly beaten in Villach the day before. After a goalless first period, the Styrians took a comfortable 3:0 lead with three goals within four minutes. Trevor Gooch opened the scoring, then Manuel Ganahl deflected a Zündel shot perfectly. Nick Albano rounded off the run. Brett Findlay got the home side on the scoreboard in the third period, but Tim Harnisch had an answer - 1:4. Gooch scored his second goal to round off the scoring. With their first league win in Bruneck, head coach Harry Lange's team took the maximum six points on their Italian road trip.
