EC Red Bull Salzburg remains at the top of the table after the 17th round of the win2day ICE Hockey League. The Salzburg side fought back from a 0:1 deficit to win 2-1 as guests of the Moser Medical Graz99ers after surviving a storming run by Graz in the closing minutes without any damage. The Styrians suffered their 14th defeat in 15 games after a determined fight.
Fehérvár follows suit
The runner-up of the win2day ICE Hockey League also celebrated a win after a defeat on Friday. Visiting HC Pustertal, Hydro Fehérvár made a strong start and took a 3:0 lead until the 30th minute. Pustertal reduced the score to 2:3 but finally had to accept a 2:5 defeat.
Black Wings back on rank 4
On Friday, the Steinbach Black Wings Linz lost the direct duel for the third place in the standings against EC iDM Wärmepumpen VSV and slipped down to fifth place in the meantime.

Pioneers defeat KAC in shootout

While the Pioneers are in eighth place in the standings after the 17th round, the KAC slipped back to fifth.
