As a result, the polar bears initially dominated the game before the eagles became stronger towards the end of the second period. However, Mannheim did not manage to equalize.
Less than 24 hours until the first final game
With the first really consistent attack, the polar bears then followed up in the final third. Blaine Byron first hit the crossbar on the right, but used the rebound to make it 2-0. In the period that followed, Mannheim struggled to get the goal. But Berlin defended the lead clarified. And scored the third goal in the last minute – when Mannheim took out the goalkeeper. Again Byron was successful.
The Berliners now have little time to catch their breath. Due to the tight schedule, the final series against EHC Munich starts on Friday at 7:30 p.m. Since some long-term events are taking place in the Mercedes-Benz Arena, it would not be possible to hold them later.
