Ritten Sport Renault Trucks: Justin Pogge (Josef Niederstätter); Kevin Mitchell, TJ Kemp, Ingemar Gruber, Fabian Hackhofer, Klaus Ploner, Ruben Rampazzo; Greg Jacina, Domenico Perna, Chris Durno, Emanuel Scelfo, Mathias Fauster, Lorenz Daccordo, Thomas Spinell, Matteo Rasom, Mirko Quinz, Julian Kostner Coach: Rob Wilson

Alberto Fontanive was missing from Alleghe, while Ritten's coach Rob Wilson had much bigger injury concerns. He had to give way to Ryan Ramsay (broken finger), Dan Tudin (knee problems), Markus Hafner, Alex Frei and Alexander Eisath, whose season ended early. The guests started like fire fighters and could have taken the lead after a few moments if Perna's shot hadn't hit the post. In this situation, Adam Dennis had luck on his side. Ritten was the better team in this initial phase and took the lead in a majority situation. Emanuel Scelfo was served perfectly by Perna and scored to make it 1-0. However, Rittner's lead lasted less than two minutes. Lo Vecchio and Johansson worked together perfectly and the Swedish attacker beat Pogge. The third goal also came in the majority. This time Vince Rocco was there. But the deficit didn't bother Ritten and Lorenz Daccordo equalized in the 19th minute. After the break, the guests took control again and took the lead in the power play through Scelfo. Alleghe equalized after just over half an hour through Jeff Lo Vecchio. The game became increasingly hectic and there were many penalty times in the De Toni Stadium. Once again with one man more, Ritten took the lead 4:3, and again the goalscorer was Lorenz Daccordo. But Alleghe held on and equalized for the fourth time in the power play with Nicola Fontanive. In the final third, the emotional roller coaster ride continued. After a little more than a minute, Daccordo put the Rittners in front again with his third goal. Alleghe, which is fighting for fourth place in the table, gave it its all again and was rewarded with Vince Rocco's equalizer in the 57th minute. It remained 5:5 until the final whistle, so it went into extra time. There, Greg Jacina made the decision 18:6 in favor of the South Tyrolean club 5 seconds before the end of the five minutes.

HC Valpellice Bodino Engineering - HC Bozen 5:2 (0:0, 2:1, 3:1)

Valpellice Bodino Engineering: Jordan Parise (Andrea Rivoira), Florian Runer, Andrea Schina, Trevor Johnson, Nick Anderson, Slavomir Tomko, Paul Baier; Marco Pozzi, Brodie Dupont, Stefano Coco, Nate DiCasmirro, Brian Ihnacak, Pietro Canale, Ralph Intranuovo, Rob Sirianni, Anthony Aquino, Paolo Nicolao, Martino Durand Varese Coach: Mike Flanagan

Gates: 0-1 Mark McCutcheon (24.57), 1-1 Anthony Aquino (27.27), 2-1 Anthony Aquino (30.18), 2-2 Marco Insam (40.10), 3-2 Rob Sirianni (49.18), 4-2 Rob Sirianni (53.29), 5:2 Anthony Aquino (59.21)

First defeat in the Master Round for HC Bozen, who had to admit defeat in Torre Pellice with 2:5 goals. The Piedmontese decided the match in the last ten minutes of the game when they went from 2-2 to 5-2 with two goals from Rob Sirianni and a goal from Anthony Aquino. Despite the defeat, the White-Reds remain leaders. The home team had to do without Alex Silva, while Bozen used new acquisition Andy Delmore for the first time. The defender wore jersey number 68. Coach Brian McCutcheon was able to make full use of four attacking blocks, as Marco Insam, who has recovered from his shoulder injury, has also returned to the team. Bozen started very strongly and had the first great chance in the tenth minute with MacGregor Sharp, goalkeeper Jordan Parise saved the post. Then the record champions tried the second block, with Balazs Ladanyi passing to Anton Bernard, who missed the opportunity. In the 15th minute, Tomko had to go to the penalty box, but first Andy Delmore and then Ryan Flynn failed in the majority. So after twenty minutes it remained a goalless draw. At the start of the middle third, Florian Runer had to leave the ice for two minutes. This time Bozen used the power play and took the lead with Mark McCutcheon. The white-reds remained in control even after the 1-0 lead, but Valpellice stood firm and equalized in the 27.27 minute with Anthony Aquino. Bozen could have taken the lead again straight away with Andy Delmore, who celebrated a good debut, but Parise defended. On the other side, Anthony Aquino did better again, losing out to Günther Hell in the 30.18 minute after a nice individual action. In the final minutes of the middle third, Bolzano had the score at 2-2 several times, but could not beat Parise. The final third began without MacGregor Sharp, who remained in the dressing room due to a groin problem. Marco Insam took his place in the first line with Ryan Flynn and Mark McCutcheon and equalized 2-2 after just ten seconds. Afterwards, the people of Bolzano were no longer able to maintain the high tempo, Valpellice became more dangerous and took the lead again with Rob Sirianni ten minutes before the end of the game. The former Puster striker finally made it 53.29-4 in the 2 minute. In the last minute of the game, Anthony Aquino made it 5-2 with his third goal.

Relegation Round

Val di Fassa Ferrarini - Hafro Cortina 2:5 (0:2, 2:2, 0:1)

SHC Val di Fassa Ferrarini: Frank Doyle (Gianluca Vallini), David Turon, Greg Kuznik, Damiano Casagranda, Christian Castlunger, Mario Cartelli, Thomas Dantone; Jakub Sindel, Luca Planchensteiner, Enrico Chelodi, Gabriele Vieder, Stefano Margoni, Mattia Bernard, Martin Castlunger, Michele Marchetti, Nicola Deluca, Massimo Valeruz, Matteo Dantone, Cesare Sottsas Coach: Miro Frycer Hafro Cortina: JP Levasseur (Luca Burzacca); Paul Albers, Darrell Hay, Luca Zandonella, David Bowman, Michele Zanatta, Luca Zanatta; Giorgio De Bettin, Luca Felicetti, Ryan Dingle, Stanislav Gron, Erik Weissmann, Derek Edwarson, Andrea Moser, Francesco Adami, Christian Menardi Coach: Clayton Beddoes

Both teams were able to play fully in this fundamental match at the Scola Stadium. For Fassa it was the last chance to maybe get a ticket for the play-off. The guests only needed two minutes to take a 1-0 lead through Gron. The hit was preceded by a major blunder by Kuznik. Just 85 seconds later, Doyle's goal rang for the second time, this time Felicetti was there. The match could hardly have started worse for the Ladins, while Cortina now cleverly controlled the match with the two goals behind them. In the second period, Gron and Felicetti increased the lead to 37-4 with their second goal of the evening within 0 seconds. This meant that the topic of the play-off was as good as over for Fassa. But only almost, because Turon initially reduced the score to 1:4 before Sindel, outnumbered, scored the second goal for Fassa. The Frycer force was back in the running. In the third third, the home team's strength dwindled, but they tried very hard. Albers finally closed the bag with 121 seconds before the end of the game with the 5:2 into the empty goal. With this victory, Cortina qualified for the play-off, while Fassa and Pontebba will play in the play-out for relegation from February 19th.

At Pontebba, which was already a participant in the play-out, Rok Pajic returned to the team in attack, while goalkeeper Anthony Grieco was missing and Simon Fabris took the place between the posts. Milan's coach Adolf Insam was able to make full use of the team, but had to postpone the debut of new acquisition Jan Snopek. The match started very slowly with few chances to score on both sides. Milan took the lead with their first chance in the eleventh minute when Migliore hit the puck into the net. From then on, the guests controlled the game, Pontebba couldn't get going. In the second third the match became more lively. After a mistake by Degon, Peter Sachl passed the puck to Patrick Rizzo, who was unable to capitalize on it. Now Pontebba got better and better, but missed too many chances. Andrea Gorza only equalized when she had the advantage. Milan were spurred on by the equalizer, but Fabris was always on hand for Migliore & Co.'s few chances. In the final period of the game, Milan flexed their muscles for five minutes: Luca Ansoldi, Ryan Kinasewich with a brace and Manuel Lo Presti ensured a 5-1 win that gave Milan three points.
