Wolfsburg is one of the six teams in the DEL that will actually manage to play all of the 56 games planned. Lower Saxony lost their last game on Friday in Mannheim 4-1. Before that, however, the Grizzlys had scored four threes in a row and won at home against Krefeld (5:2) and Munich (4:3). On your own ice you have four wins in a row. The last home bankruptcy dates back to early March and a 0:4 loss against Straubing.

: Bremerhaven have scored points in the last four games and haven’t conceded a single goal in two recent wins against Adler Mannheim (2-0 away, 4-0 at home). The Seestadt team suffered their last defeat abroad in mid-March in Straubing (1:2).

: On Friday, Bietigheim even had a chance to make the playoffs, but then lost 9-1 to their direct competitors from Cologne. After the first third, the team from Baden-Württemberg was almost hopelessly behind. It was the fifth defeat in a row in the final spurt of the main round, causing the Steelers to slip to third from last place. Nevertheless, Volker Schoch drew an extremely positive conclusion at the end of the promotion season. “The boys fought so well for us this season and gave us so much fun,” said the managing director.
1:35 p.m
: The guests should also get something today, who of course want to get sixth place and a direct entry into the playoff quarter-finals. For this it is important to keep the ERC Ingolstadt at a distance. In this case, too, both teams have played the same number of games (54). And even the goal difference is identical (+11). With a two-point lead, Bremerhaven would have to win, i.e. get at least two points, in order to hold their ground in front of the Schanzers and to be independent of their appearance in Krefeld.

: The polar bears want to say goodbye to the main round with a win. “I’m expecting a tough and difficult game against Bietigheim. We want to go into the playoffs with a sense of achievement. That’s why I expect a better performance from us than in Straubing. I’m convinced that we’ll be able to do that. The cogs have to mesh for this .The strikers have to drop back a bit when necessary.We have to accept the tackles and win.As soon as we have to, we have to play our moves,” said head coach Serge Aubin.
13:25
: As second in the table, the hosts have already secured their place in the playoffs. Nothing is going up, the Eisbären Berlin will finish the regular season first. For the Grizzlies it’s still about defending their position against EHC Munich. In order to do that on your own, you need a win after 60 minutes today. In the same number of games (55), the Red Bulls currently have just one point less and have a much better goal difference.
13:22
: For both teams it’s all about a positive conclusion this afternoon: The polar bears are already the winners of the main round and are waiting for their opponent in the playoff quarterfinals. In the meantime, the club from the capital has 109 points on the account and thus prevailed over the Grizzlys Wolfsburg and the EHC Red Bull Munich. The guests from Bietigheim have achieved their big goal for the season and, as a promoted team, made it perfect for staying up in the league. Before the last game of the season, the Steelers can only finish eleventh.
