After nine defeats in a row, the spusu Vienna Capitals have again recorded a win in the win2day ICE Hockey League, as the twelfth-placed team in the league won 2-1 after overtime at EC Red Bull Salzburg, their fourth win of the season. Once again shorthanded due to injuries, the visitors kept the game open against the leaders and were rewarded for their courageous performance with the late goal by Carsen Twarynski (53.), who then also scored the game winning goal for the Viennese in overtime on power play. For the Canadian, it was the first two goals in the multinational league. Salzburg was defeated in front of its home crowd for the first time this season.
Second-ranked team lost too
