EC Bregenzerwald made the better start as visitors to the Eisarena Salzburg and took the lead through Toivo Laaksonen after just 86 seconds. However, the hosts responded promptly: Maxim Eliseev scored on the power play to make it 1:1, before the 22-year-old Russian turned the game around with his second goal in the first period.

The Juniors increasingly took control of the game and extended their lead to 4:1 in the middle period through goals from Florian Lanzinger and Mathias Böhm. Nick Maul put the finishing touch on the 5:1 final score with his goal in the final period.

It was Salzburg's fifth win of the season in their ninth game – and their second victory in a row. While the Juniors continue to put pressure on league leaders Sisak, EC Bregenzerwald remain second from bottom after their seventh defeat (12th place, nine points).
