The only two non-South Tyrolean teams in the league faced each other in the Agorà ice rink in Milan. Nevertheless, the match was decided by South Tyrolean players, as they scored five of the seven goals of the evening. Milano Rossoblù, second in the table, lived up to its role as favorite against league newcomer Pergine and clearly won 6-1. Milan coach Massimo da Rin had to do without the injured Re, Caletti and Ansoldi, while Marco Liberatore sent Troy Barnes to the stands as a surplus foreigner. Pergine was also missing strikers De Toni, Fontanive, Accarino and De Polo. The Lombards were the dominant team from the start, but only took the lead in the 15.30 minute with a goal from Andreas Lutz. Three minutes later, captain Tommaso Migliore increased the score to 2-0. After Todd Jackson's goal in the 34.04 minute, Daniel Peruzzo restored Milan's two-goal lead with the second half-time whistle. In the final third Peruzzo first scored his second goal, then Peter Wunderer scored twice more in just three minutes to make the final score 6-1.

The Pranives Stadium in Val Gardena does not seem to be the leader of the table in Neumarkt. After the 4:6 defeat on November 30th, the Unterlanders had to admit defeat to HC Gherdeina today with 2:3 goals. It was the “Wildgänse”’s first defeat in over a month (4:1 against Eppan on December 4th). Spinell, Mascarin and Gabriel Vinatzer were missing from Val Gardena, while Neumarkt arrived without Zambaldi and Dominic Perna. Patrick Wallenberg gave Val Gardena the lead in the 17.53 minute, 42 seconds later Matteo Peiti equalized 7-1 with his 1th goal of the season. In the middle third the hosts pulled away to 3-1 with two goals from Ivan Demetz and Wallenberg, but Faggioni immediately reduced the score to 2-3. It stayed that way until the final whistle. With this victory, Val Gardena consolidates fourth place in the table, while Neumarkt remains at the top, but is now only four points ahead of pursuers Milan.

Bottom team EV Bozen suffered their 24th championship defeat against third-placed Eppan in the Sill. The Überetscher, who had to make do without Eisenstecken, Röggl and Raffeiner, but had the Finn Loikas in their squad again, clearly prevailed with 8:1 goals. At EV Bozen, however, the suspended Sechny and the injured Battisti, Plankl, Pancheri and Malfertheiner were missing. For Eppan it was almost like training. Peter Campbell, Alex Rottensteiner and Tobias Ebner scored in the first third, Juha Pekka Loikas, Philipp Platter and David Ceresa in the second, before Loikas and Hannes Hofer increased the score to 8-0 in the final third. Three minutes before the end of the game, Hannes Hölzl scored a consolation goal to make the final score 8-1. With this victory, Eppan consolidated third place in the table, but for EV Bozen the play-off train seems to have finally left.

HC Meran Nils - SV Kaltern Rothoblaas 3:1 (0:1, 1:0, 2:0) HC Meran Nils: Charles Corsi (Massimo Quagliato); Victor Wallin, Jan Mair, Tommi Leinonen, Andreas Huber, Philipp Beber; Massimo Ansoldi, Julian Schwienbacher, Daniel Rizzi, Stefan Palla, Jari Löfman, Michael Stocker, Oliver Schenk, Gunnar Braito, Patrick Cainelli, Thomas Mitterer, Stefan Kobler, Davide Turrin, Daniel Erlacher Coach: Doug McKay

It will also be difficult for Kaltern to qualify for the play-offs after today's 1:3 defeat in Merano. The “Hechten” are already ten points short of the 6th and final play-off place. With this victory, Merano has again overtaken Pergine in the table and is now fifth. Both teams had to specify a player: the Meran defender Valgoi, the Überetsch striker Giovannini. Massimo Camin also returned in goal for the guests, while new acquisition Jari Löfman made his debut for Meran. Shortly before the first third break, Antti Hilden put Kaltern in the lead with his 17th goal of the season. In the middle third, Meran was initially unable to use four power plays, but then in the 38.51 minute Alex Lanz equalized to make it 1-1. In the final third, the home team stepped up a gear and secured the important three points with two goals from Daniel Erlacher and Alex Lanz.
