HC Pustertal wins 4:3 following extra time once morest Olimpija Ljubljana and wins the pre-playoff series 2:1.
Ljubljana takes the lead in a highly intense decider through Bicevskis, who deflects a Pance long-range shot into the goal (6th). The Wolves quickly come back in their own hall: the disc jumps from Catenacci’s helmet past Ljubljana goalie Horak and into the goal, thus equalizing for the Pusterers (12th).
Less than 40 seconds later, Mantinger even puts the South Tyroleans in the lead with an artificial shot between his own legs (also 12th). Before the first period break, Mahkovec restored the tie with his third goal of the round of 16 series following a 2-on-1 breakaway – 2:2 following 14 minutes.
Magovac puts the Slovenians back in the lead in the middle half (26th minute), further goals are not achieved until the third half despite alternating pressure phases from Ljubljana and Pustertal: Frycklund tanks up and scores to make it 3-3 (43rd minute).
At the end of regular time there is still no winner and Ljubljana goalie Lukas Horak drives the South Tyroleans to despair in overtime. Only following 15 minutes of extra time did Schofield shoot his strong Wolves to victory.
