Minor penalty (2 minutes) for Mirko Höfflin (Schwenninger Wild Wings)
While SERC goalie Eriksson saves Patrick Russell from behind with his pad from close range, Höfflin, in the heat of the moment, gives Kevin Niedenz a body check that is too hard for the referee’s liking and so the KEC is once again in the majority!

Tuomie flies across the ice parquet at full speed on the left, plays from the boards through the legs of Louis-Marc Aubry to Dominik Bokk, who comes rushing in at the right moment and is able to hole out with full force – because he had completely escaped from his opponents.

Game start
2:47 p.m
“We wanted to get better from third to third and especially in the third third we played our best third of the playoffs to date. Schwenningen got into the game well and made life difficult for us,” said Haie coach Kari Jalonen after the last encounter in Cologne. He is aware that the atmosphere in the Helios Arena on the Bauchenberg will push the Wild Swans forward and that full concentration will be the motto today too.
2:37 p.m
“Cologne has a great team and we were equal again. But our puck management in the offensive zone was terrible. Nevertheless, we will be ready for game three,” were the words of Steve Walker (Schwennninger Wild Wings coach) after the 2:4 defeat in Cologne on Friday, in which today’s hosts sold strongly, especially in the first two thirds. But despite two leads and a strong dynamic around Phil Hungerecker and the Spink twins, in the end it wasn’t enough to equalize the series.
14:28
For the underdog from Schwenningen, the motto is actually “Do or die”, because the Swans are under pressure to act due to the 0-2 deficit in the series against Cologne, who were dominant in the preliminary round. If the Haie win again, they will have their first match point in front of their own audience on Tuesday and the chance to secure their ticket to the semi-finals with a sweep.
2:14 p.m
Sunday is ice time – hello and welcome to game three in the quarter-final series between the Schwenninger Wild Wings and the Kölner Haien! Here in the live ticker you will find all the necessary information about the game in time for the first face-off at 3:00 p.m.
