For two teams it's win or fly!

Neumarkt was the last team to qualify for the playoffs and has so far put up a great fight against the big favorites from Klobenstein. Nevertheless, he leads with two wins. In both games, the Italian champions won the game in just one third, and the remaining two periods ended in a draw. The Wild Geese need to avoid penalties on Wednesday, as they have already conceded five goals in the series when they were outnumbered. Ritten's captain Christian Borgatello often had his stick in play; he is the top scorer in the playoffs so far with six points (one goal and five assists). Alex Frei also scored in each of the four games of the season against Neumarkt, scoring a total of five goals. The Wild Goose should be particularly careful of these two cracks if they want to delay their summer vacation.

Schweitzer and Fontanive closed for a long time

The series between Pustertal and Cortina is hard to beat in terms of drama. After the Ampezzo team took the lead in the third overtime in the first game, the decision in game two was also extremely exciting. Pustertal equalized just under half a minute before the end, the home team responded just 20 seconds later and made it 2-0. The Wolves have to win on Wednesday to extend the series. Cortina last won three times in a row against Bruneck in 2012. The guests are currently brimming with self-confidence: Riley Brace leads the playoff scorers list with three goals.

The home team will have to do without the suspended Maksims Sirokovs and Viktor Schweitzer. The guests are missing Nicola Fontanive, who is in second place in the playoffs scorer rankings with five points. Both Schweitzer and Fontanive were subsequently suspended for three games because of a knee check in game two.
