Overall not a good game by the polar bears. Many chances are missed at the front and the Berliners make careless mistakes when defending. Often the puck is held for far too long.
Overall, this one point won in the fight for the playoffs (from 10th place) is not enough. Sunday (3.30 p.m.) we go to the direct competitor Iserlohn.
