Philipp Lukas in an interview after the game:
02/21/2024 – 9:32 p.m
With that we say goodbye for today. Thanks for reading along, thanks to Liwest for the partnership. The next live ticker will be in the playoffs – on March 3rd. Because in the playoffs you will also be there live with us at home games. And if you want to give us a tip: there will be a repeat of last year’s duel in the quarter-finals, Linz against Bozen.
02/21/2024 – 9:31 p.m
By the way, thanks to Villach’s victory over Innsbruck, all six quarter-final participants are confirmed. Bozen made the jump, Linz too and Villach is also three points ahead of seventh-placed Innsbruck and has won the direct duel. This means that the Haie can no longer overtake the VSV.
HC Pustertal could still intercept the Sharks – so the long-distance duel on Friday is still about home advantage in the pre-playoffs.
And regarding home advantage in the quarter-finals: Villach could theoretically also move up to fourth place. However, with a two-point deficit, the Carinthians have the worst cards on paper.
February 21, 2024 – 9:30 p.m
There is still one game left for the Black Wings in the regular season. On Friday the home game against Ljubljana in a long-distance duel with Bozen will be about home advantage in the quarter-finals. Bolzano welcomes the KAC. Tickets for the game are available tickets.blackwings.at

Don’t forget about the IceCats Linz AG trial day. On March 2nd, girls between the ages of 5 and 11 have the opportunity to try out playing ice hockey. And the sport needs young people. So, join us.
02/21/2024 – 9:28 p.m
The man of the game for Linz was Shawn St-Amant. He was involved in all four goals.
02/21/2024 – 9:27 p.m
Linz’s second goal goes to Stefan Gaffal. So he was obviously crucial. That’s why we’re improving it here too.
02/21/2024 – 9:26 p.m
Asiago held up well, especially in the first third. For the Italians the season ends on Friday.
02/21/2024 – 9:26 p.m
The Linz team deservedly won 4-1 in Asiago – after a stuttering start. In the final third the shot ratio was also 12:4 in favor of the Black Wings. Linz had 33 shots in this game. Four hits are okay.

Can the Steinbach Black Wings find a way into the quarterfinals today? You have it in your own hands. Because with an away win after 60 minutes of play in Asiago, the Linz team would be qualified for the round of the last eight and would have a whole week to cure aches and pains and recharge their batteries while the other teams are contesting the pre-playoffs.
If Linz wins after extra time or a shootout, the quarter-finals can already be fixed. Namely, when the parallel game in Villach between the Adler and HC Innsbruck ends after 60 minutes – no matter who wins.
Defeats – whether after 60 minutes or after extra time/shootout – are not enough for an early quarter-final entry. Then everything would depend on the last round on Friday at home against HK Olimpija.
Martin Stajnoch and Sean Collins, who were recently absent due to illness, are back in the team. As a result, Philipp Lukas has to do without the services of Andreas Kristler (ill) and Julian Pusnik (lower body) today.
