In the German Ice Hockey League (DEL), which continues to be characterized by Corona cancellations, the Fischtown Pinguins Bremerhaven have achieved an important success in the fight for direct playoff participation.
The North Germans defeated the Schwenninger Wild Wings 4:3 (1:0, 1:1, 1:2, 1:0) after extra time on Wednesday and consolidated sixth place, at least for the time being.
Ziga Jeglic scored the decisive goal in the fourth minute of overtime. However, Bremerhaven played four more games than the immediate pursuers Straubing Tigers, who have been hit by numerous corona cases and were last on the ice a week ago.
The encounter between Red Bull Munich and the Nuremberg Ice Tigers, which was also scheduled for Wednesday evening, was only canceled at short notice in the afternoon due to a corona outbreak in Franconia.
