On the 17th matchday of the German Ice Hockey League (DEL), the Adler Mannheim lost 2:3 (1:2, 0:0, 1:1) in Nuremberg. Ingolstadt shot the Fischtown Pinguins 6: 2 (2: 1, 1: 0, 3: 1) from the top of the table on Sunday (October 30th, 2022).
In Nuremberg, the favorites from Mannheim got off to a better start and, thanks to Tim Wohlgemuth, took a 1-0 lead after just 113 seconds. But then the Ice Tigers fought their way back into the game and, after goals from Patrick Reimer (8th minute) and Gregor MacLeod (18th), were 2-1 up after the first period.
With a fighting performance, the hosts then claimed the lead. When Mannheim then took the goalkeeper off the ice in the final phase, Daniel Schmölz made the preliminary decision with the 3:1 into the empty goal 55 seconds before the end. The second goal by Wohlgemuth shortly afterwards was only a cosmetic result for the Adler.
