The frontrunner from Klagenfurt is still on the wave of success and is celebrating its fifth victory in a row. In Linz, the Klagenfurt team won 3:5 despite being 2-0 behind.
A severely weakened EC-KAC could not be defeated by the Steinbach Black Wings Linz either. The Klagenfurt team celebrated their fifth win in a row and became the first team to book a ticket to the 2026 playoffs. The league leaders won 5-3 in an entertaining game and increased their lead over their first pursuer Graz to four points. The Black Wings suffered their second defeat in a row and are in eighth place in the table, three points ahead of eleventh-placed Villach. In front of almost 4,500 fans, the Stahlstadters were the team that set the tone at the beginning and even led 2-0 thanks to goals from Ken Ograjensek (9th/PP1) and Graham Knott (24th). Just a minute and a half later, the home team had the chance to make it 3-0 when they had the advantage, but instead they got the next goal from Clemens Unterweger, and less than a minute later Matt Fraser even scored the equalizer. But Linz took the lead again in the 36th minute through Logan Roe, but again the leaders had the perfect answer and equalized in the 39th minute in the power play through Raphael Herburger. In the final period, the Red Jackets finally took the lead for the first time in the 47th minute through Nick Petersen, but the Black Wings were unable to equalize. Jan Mursak finally made everything clear with an empty netter 30 seconds before the end. In the third duel of the season it was the third win for Klagenfurt.
