Wolves and Foxes are hungry and want to win the second quarter-final

Supermercati Migross Asiago (8th) – Wolves Fiat Professional Pustertal (1st) The fans of Asiago are looking forward to the second play-off quarter-final against the Wolves with great anticipation. After the 4-2 defeat that the champions suffered in the Leitner Solar Arena, Asiago wants to strike back in the Odegar Stadium. Coach Parco will have drawn confidence from the fact that the team did not bury their heads in the sand after falling 0-2 down, but bravely held on until the third third. But now we are starting from scratch again and it will be interesting to see whether Asiago can strike in the play-offs and equalize in the series after the two wins at the Odegar Stadium in the regular season. Given the quality of the squad, Borrelli & Co. certainly have the opportunity to stand up to the Pusterers. The wolves, for their part, will act with the same aggressiveness as they would in front of their own audience and will try to tame the lions as quickly as possible. At Asiago, Coach Parco has plenty to draw from, while the Wolves are likely to miss Matt Kelly.

Fassa Ferrarini (7th) – HC Bozen (2nd) After the clear home win in the ice wave, Bozen is hunting for goals against Fassa and wants to save energy in the series with a win. However, the Foxes had a hard time against the Ladins, as evidenced by the two defeats during regular time. Fassa also draws confidence from the fact that Chvatal and Sullivan, two players who were sidelined by an intestinal virus, may return to the squad. Chrenko, who was also ill with the virus, will probably still be missing from coach Miroslav Frycer. With the longer bench and even more opportunities to rotate, Fassa could win. Then in the first game, the Foxes secured victory thanks to three goals in the first third, which came in less than two minutes. Above all, the HCB will try to ensure that the attackers do not miss countless chances like they did on Saturday. Otherwise, the penalty could follow immediately on the opponent's ice. In addition to Chrenko, Locatin and Margoni will be missing from Fassa, while Meyers and Edwardson will not be able to play at Bozen.

HC Valpellice Bodino Engineering (6th) – Hafro SG Cortina (3rd) The “battle” in the Olympic Stadium, in which Valpellice had to bite the “sour loser’s apple” after a desolate performance in the middle third, did not result in any suspensions. The decisive factor will be Valiquette in goal for the club from Piedmont, who finished the regular season with an incredible rate of 95,9 percent of shots saved and is now expected to build on this performance in the knockout round. Meanwhile, Stefan Mair could be satisfied with his team, which outgrew itself in the middle third of the first leg and wrapped up victory with five goals. If the Hennigar-Fraser-Menei line continues to perform like this, but Levasseur is also in his position, then Cortina need not fear anyone. Regan will be missing from Valpellice, while Luca Zanatta will not be available for the Ampezzo team.

HC Alleghe Tegola Canadese (5th) – Aquile FVG Pontebba (4th) The first meeting in Friuli was a battle – in the truest sense of the word. Three players were suspended for the second leg on Tuesday. Adam Henrich will not be at Alleghe, while Pontebba will be without Ihnacak and Waddel. McKenna's troops will have to bring out different guns than they did on Saturday if the White and Reds want to hit back at home. It starts with goalkeeper Adam Dennis, who had a terrible day in Pontebba, and continues in the attack, where the power play didn't turn out to be Alleghe's most dangerous weapon. Manuel De Toni & Co. can't afford to make a mistake on Tuesday so as not to have their backs against the wall after the second match. The team from Friuli is very happy with the performance on Saturday, in which not only goalkeeper Petizian, but all parts of the team - especially the first two lines - were involved. In addition to those suspended, Tartaglione at Alleghe and Alberto Fontanive at Pontebba are missing.

WSV Vipiteno Weihenstephan (10th) – Ritten Sport Renault Trucks (9th) The relegation battle goes from the high plateau to the Wipptal, where Sterzing wants to make up for the 3:5 defeat in the first match. In the Broncos game, there was little going on at Ritten, especially in defense the Sterzingers weren't completely sound. Prudden and Stofner showed a reaction with their goals, but it was too late to catch up. Ritten's good goal tally should be mentioned, which was often criticized during the regular season. With the three goals scored in the opening phase, Ritten played confidently and managed this lead cleverly until the final buzzer. It was important that Tudin and May, two players who were very important for the Rittner balance, scored goals. Delmore and Blight confirmed that they are currently in the best form of the Ritten players. Both teams have plenty to draw from – except for the suspended Fauster, who will be missing from Ritten.
