Two days after being eliminated from the Champions League, runner-up ERC Ingolstadt got rid of their frustration in the DEL on Thursday evening (November 23rd, 2023) when they saw their ex-coach again.
The Upper Bavarians swept the bottom of the table Iserlohn Roosters with coach Doug Shedden off the ice with 7:1 (3:0, 4:1, 0:0).
First setback for Shedden
On Tuesday, the ERC achieved a remarkable 3:3 with the Swedish champions Växjö Lakers in the second leg of the CHL round of 16, but were eliminated due to the 1:4 in the first duel. Shedden, who coached the “Schanzer” from 2017 to 2022, remained without a point in the third game at the Iserlohner Gang for the first time: Previously, the Sauerlanders, with the successor to ex-national coach Greg Poss, had lost 1-2 after extra time at Düsseldorf EG lost and won 5:4 against the Nuremberg Ice Tigers.
Andrew Rowe (4th), Philipp Krauß (8th), Daniel Pietta (13th) and Mirko Höfflin (23rd) chased Kevin Reich, who only parried six out of ten shots, out of the Iserlohn goal after just 23 minutes . His replacement Andreas Jenike received further goals from vice world champion Leon Hüttl (31st), Travis St. Denis (33rd) and Krauß (40th). Sven Ziegler scored for the Roosters, who are still four points behind a non-relegation spot (33′). Ingolstadt is tenth.
