The clash between the first and second in the table goes to the pursuer, EC Red Bull Salzburg. At the KAC, the Mozartstadt team narrowly won 4:3 and reduced the gap to the Red Jackets to four points.
EC Red Bull Salzburg celebrated a 4-3 win in the top game against a weakened EC-KAC. At the beginning of the encounter, events came to a head. First Philipp Wimmer presented for the Red Bulls. However, the KAC turned the game around with a brace within 30 seconds: Matt Fraser scored in the power play, Nick Petersen made it 2-1. Just seven seconds after the opening goal, Brandon Coe responded, equalizing again. Shortly before the end of the first period, Peter Schneider regained the lead for Salzburg. In the second third, Nash Nienhuis made the preliminary decision 4-2. Fabian Hochegger scored the next goal in the final period, which initiated a final offensive for Klagenfurt, but it was no longer enough for overtime.
With this victory, EC Red Bull Salzburg can no longer take away their guaranteed quarter-final place. This means that the two finalists from the previous season have also been confirmed as the first playoff participants in 2026.
