The HC Falkensteiner Pustertal lost after an intensive fight at the Nuremberg Ice Tigers 1-2 after extra time.
The game was goalless long and both goalies – pasual for Puster Valley, Fitzpatrick for Nuremberg – convinced with strong parades. In the last third, Nuremberg took the lead through Meireles in the power play; Pustertal, however, managed to equalize by Purdeller shortly before the end. In the overtime, Gerard decided the game for the hosts after 40 seconds.
