The Ice Tigers spend a lot of time in the attacking third. It won’t be compulsory for a long time. Then Tim Fleischer follows up in the slot, but is left behind against Arno Tiefensee. At this moment, the Eagles are allowed to replenish their ranks.

Goal for Adler Mannheim, 1-0 by David Wolf
From the right side, Yannick Proske passes briefly to David Wolf, who shoots inside the right face-off circle. With the wrist shot, Tim Fleischer completely blocks the view of his goalie Leon Hungerecker. The goalkeeper can’t do anything and sees the disc whizzing over his stick hand into the top left corner far too late.

Game start
19:29
André Schrader and Martin Frano are supposed to ensure order on the ice. Linesperson Jan-Philipp Priebsch and David Tanko assist the two main referees.
7:25 p.m
Arno Tiefensee on the Mannheim side and Leon Hungerecker on the Nuremberg side start between the posts. The newly injured Stefan Loibl (Adler) and Julius Karrer (Ice Tigers) are not there. The home team can rely on the recovered Matthias Plachta and Fabrizio Pilu again today.
7:20 p.m
In addition, the Eagles knew how to please in the Champions Hockey League, only losing an away game at Tappara Tampere after a penalty shootout (1:2) and finishing the main round in first place with five wins. The round of 16 will be against Rapperswil from Switzerland in November.
19:11
When outnumbered, the Eagles do slightly better (only conceding four goals), but are not at all convincing in the power play. Not even a twelve percent success rate and a meager four hits means a meager yield. On the other hand, the Mannheimers shine when it comes to blocking shots, with 133 they are unmatched in the league. The MERC currently has three wins in a row – including at home against Augsburg (5:4 after a penalty shootout) and Ingolstadt (2:1). The last defeat came exactly two weeks ago in Wolfsburg (1:2). And three days before that, they suffered their only home defeat so far against Straubing (0-1).

The Middle Franconians recorded exactly that threesome exactly a week ago in Ingolstadt. The runner-up won 5:3. With Sunday’s home win against Iserlohn (8:2), we now have a slim series of two wins. The last defeat came almost two weeks ago in Frankfurt (2:6). Nuremberg knows how to please in the power play, where they are number two in the league (25 percent). With only five goals conceded when you’re outnumbered, you’re also doing quite well in penalty killing.
18:53
From a tabulation perspective, the second hosts the tithe. There are eight points between the two teams, with the Adler only one point behind leaders Eisbären Berlin. On the other hand, the Ice Tigers are not much feared as an away team, they have only achieved one win abroad and have lost all five other games.
18:44
Welcome to the German Ice Hockey League! The 12th matchday, which opened yesterday, will be completed this Friday. Among other things, there will be a game between Adler Mannheim and the Nuremberg Ice Tigers. The first puck is scheduled to hit the ice at 7:30 p.m.
