The Fischtown Pinguins from Bremerhaven are on course for the playoff final in the German Ice Hockey League. The decision in Munich will be made in extra time.
The Fischtown Pinguins from Bremerhaven are still on course for the finals in the German Ice Hockey League. In the second playoff semi-final, the main round winner beat defending champion EHC Red Bull Munich 3-2 (1-0, 1-2, 0-0, 1-0) after extra time and leads the best-of-seven series with 2: 0. Four successes are required to advance to the final.
Munich started with a lot of momentum after the 3-0 defeat in game one, but Bremerhaven countered coldly. Markus Vikingstad shot the guests from northern Germany into the lead after 14 minutes. After Miha Verlic’s second goal (26th), it looked like another Penguins victory.
Former national coach Toni Söderholm’s team appeared frustrated, Bremerhaven’s goalkeeper Kristers Gudlevskis seemed invincible. Then Markus Eisenschmid ended the goal drought: after a total of 94 minutes, the striker scored Munich’s first goal in the semi-final series. Just three minutes later, Maximilian Daubner equalized 2-2 (37′). In extra time, Phillip Bruggisser made the decision (73′).
