Without coach Philipp Lukas and goalie Leon Sommer, who were leaving Canada after the cancellation of the U20 World Cup in Edmonton, the Steel Wings had to compete with the Wipptal Broncos. Iacopo Granza managed a start made to measure for the guests: The Linz defender scored 1-0 in the fifth minute of the game. It took the hosts all the way to the middle section to appear on the scoreboard. Salo (25th) equalized the game, Chiodo brought the South Tyroleans (38th) into the lead.
In the final third, Steel Wings captain Marcel Mayrhofer managed to make it 2-2 (45th) in the majority, before Hasler was able to bring the hosts back into the lead (49th). The Linz team also had an answer from Benjamin Mosaad, who equalized to 3: 3 in the 51st minute.
With the draw, regular time also ended. Tommy Gschnitzer managed the game-winning goal for the Sterzinger in the 64th minute.
The table was switched to the points-per-game system before the game, because the Alps Hockey League was recently faced with some postponements. The Steel Wings are in 14th place with 1,038 points per game, ahead of the VEU Feldkirch and the Kitzbüheler Adlers (both 1,000). At the bottom of the Alps Hockey League are the Vienna Capitals Silver with an average of 0.625 points.
