In the 13th round of the ICE Hockey League, Slovenian club Olimpija lost 0-1 to Austrian side Salzburg, ending their five-game winning streak. The match marked the first time this season that Olimpija failed to score a goal, resulting in the lowest-scoring game of the current competition. Despite the defeat, which dropped them to fourth place in the standings, Olimpija remains the most efficient team in the league based on goal difference, holding a +19 margin. Two of their players, Nicolai Meyer and Terrence James Brennan, rank among the top five scorers in the league, though neither contributed to the scoring line in this specific match. Meyer had a goal disallowed after video review due to an infraction against the goalkeeper, while Salzburg secured the win with a single goal in the 27th minute. Olimpija will host Fehervar and Milan in their next two home fixtures.
HK Olimpija defeated newly promoted Milano 5-4 on Sunday at the Tivoli Hall in Ljubljana, securing their eighth victory in the expanded Austrian league competition. The win came two days after a home loss to Hungarian side Fehervar, allowing the Ljubljana team to return to winning ways in the 15th round of the ICE League. The match was played before a crowd of 1,991 spectators, with officials including Kainberger, Snoj, Strmitzer, and Zgonc overseeing the contest. The game began with intense pressure from the hosts. In the second minute, Milano defender Diego Kostner received a penalty for illegal holding along the boards. Utilizing the numerical advantage, Nicolai Meyer scored the opening goal following a pass from Bine Masic. Just three minutes later, captain Jan Urbas extended the lead to 2-0 with a shot from the blue line that caught goalkeeper Edoardo Berti off guard. Milano responded quickly in the sixth minute when Swedish forward David Lindquist reduced the deficit to 2-1, assisted by Lucas Chiodo who won possession in the offensive zone. However, the hosts regained the two-goal cushion shortly thereafter. With one second remaining on a penalty against Milano’s Gregg McKegg for tripping, Marcel Mahkovec scored on the power play to make it 3-1. The second period saw further scoring action. In the 26th minute, Samuel Houde lost the puck near his own net, allowing Luka Gomboc to pass to Zig Mehle, who fired it past Berti to increase the lead to 4-1. The high score appeared to relax the home defense slightly. Blake McLaughlin cut the gap to 4-2 in the 29th minute, assisted by Houde. Two minutes later, in the 32nd minute, Nick Caamano pushed the puck past Ljubljana’s goaltender Lukas Horak to narrow the margin to 4-3. Before the end of the middle third, Mahkovec found his second goal of the night in the 38th minute, assisted by James Brennan, restoring the comfortable 5-3 lead heading into the final break. Olimpija controlled much of the third period, though Milano mounted a late threat. In the 55th minute, Lindquist scored again, this time tapping in a rebound from a shot by Michael Dal Colle, to bring the visitors within one goal at 5-4. With approximately ninety seconds remaining, Milano coach pulled Berti for an extra attacker. Despite sustained pressure, the hosts defended successfully to preserve the one-goal advantage. The final shot count stood at 45 shots for Olimpija compared to 33 for Milano. Penalty minutes were recorded as eight for the hosts and twelve for the guests. This victory marks the eighth win for the Ljubljana squad in the current season. They currently sit in fourth place in the 14-team league standings with 26 points. Their immediate schedule includes three more matches before a national team break. On Wednesday, October 28, they will travel to Feldkirch to face Vorarlberg, which sits last in the table with just one point from 15 games. Following that, they host Vienna at home on Friday before traveling to Milan for another away fixture on Sunday. Injuries have affected the roster recently. Zig Jeglic suffered a knee injury during the first period of Friday’s loss to Fehervar and is expected to miss several weeks due to lower body issues. Chris Douglas is also sidelined but is expected back soon. Clayton Kirichenko remains out for the longest duration following surgery. Coach Ben Cooper expressed dissatisfaction with the previous performance against Fehervar, predicting a different display from his team, which materialized in the aggressive start against Milano. Other results from the 15th round included Linz defeating Ferencvaros 6-2, Salzburg beating Vorarlberg 7-2, and Bolzano winning 5-2 against KAC Celovec. Fehervar lost 3-1 to Pustertal, while Graz took a 3-2 win over Vienna. Beljak defeated Innsbruck 4-0. The league leaders include Bolzano and Linz, both with 33 points, followed by KAC Celovec with 27. Milano has accumulated 20 points from 15 games, sitting in tenth place. The competition features teams from Austria, Italy, Hungary, and Slovenia, with the top teams competing for playoff positions as the season progresses.
