EHC Black Wings Linz earned a 4-3 overtime victory on the road, erasing a one-goal deficit in the third before striking in the extra session. The Black Wings controlled the late stages, outscoring Straubing 2-1 in the final regulation period to force OT.
The first period ended even at 1-1, and Straubing seized momentum with a 1-0 second-period edge to carry a 2-1 lead into the third. Linz answered with two goals in the third to knot the game at 3-3, then netted the winner early in overtime to complete the comeback.
The decisive margin was the overtime tally, the only goal of the extra frame, as neither team had a multi-goal lead all game. Linz's third-period push and OT finish flipped what had been a tightly contested, period-by-period battle.
