MAC Budapest – Lakers Kärnten 4:3
Fans in Budapest witnessed a thrilling, back-and-forth battle. The hosts opened the scoring early through Faggyas, before the Lakers turned the game around with goals from Peterson and Ropatsch. However, Breen and Truter struck three times in a row to swing the momentum back in favor of MAC, who ultimately held on for a narrow 4–3 win.

Sabres St. Pölten – EVB Eagles South Tyrol 3:0
In a clash between two top contenders, the Sabres St. Pölten surprised the league leaders from South Tyrol with a well-deserved home victory. Magoffin gave the Lower Austrians the lead on the power play, and shortly after, Gowie doubled the advantage. The Sabres stayed compact defensively throughout a high-intensity contest and capitalized on every mistake—Wittich sealed the deal with an empty-netter late in the game. With this win, the Sabres close the gap to second-place MAC Budapest to just one point.

DEC Salzburg Eagles – KSV Highlanders 2:6
In the featured livestream game on sporteurope.tv, the KSV Highlanders made a strong statement. Head coach David Picka’s team controlled the game for long stretches and cruised to a 6–2 victory. Van Ooijen and Ostadal gave the visitors an early 2–0 lead before Salzburg briefly found some hope. But the Highlanders responded cold-bloodedly—Gentilini, Kantorova, Vankova, and Confidenti added to the tally to secure the convincing win. The result lifts KSV to fifth place in the EWHL standings while maintaining top position in the AWHL.
