Referees: FICHTNER, GAMPER, Gatol, Kalb
Score in the "best of seven" quarterfinal series, RIT – RBJ: 2:1
 
Just five days after conceding a home defeat in the opening game of the series, it looks a sight better for Ritten. The champions have turned the series around and lead with 2:1 wins. The team of ehad coach Lehtonen needs two more wins to go through to semis. Last night Ritten celebrated a clear-cut 4:1 home win with Salzburg never coming into play. On Monday the Austrians want to tie the series and end a poor record as they have never won an AHL hoem game against Ritten. The "Buam" have decided all three encounters at Volksgarten to their favour. This campaign the champions earned a 4:2 win in regular season and got a 2:0 shutout in game 2 of the quarterfinals.
