In the all-important third pre-playoff game, HC Pustertal is fighting against elimination. If the Wolves avert this and move into the playoffs, they face a tough duel in the quarterfinals. The first three teams in the basic round can choose their opponents. The likelihood that the winner of the duel between the black and yellow and Ljubljana will have to play against a top team is high.
The pick will take place immediately after Thursday's game and will be broadcast on the league's website. The EC KAC can be the first team to choose the opponent, AV Fehervar (2nd) and Red Bull Salzburg (3rd) also have the right to pick. HC Bozen, who finished the regular season in 4th place and therefore enjoys home advantage, will face the team that is left. The best-of-seven playoffs begin on March 3rd.
