The Straubing Tigers are about to be eliminated from the Champions Hockey League.
The DEL club lost their round of 16 first leg at Frölunda HC in Gothenburg/Sweden on Tuesday 0:4 (0:0, 0:3, 0:1) and need a little miracle in the home game against the record winner next week.
Straubing conceded goals in the middle third from Joel Lundqvist (26’/40′) and Mats Rosseli-Olsen (32′). Liam Dower Nilsson (57th) followed up shortly before the end of the game.
Grizzlies are still hoping
Things are looking a little better for Wolfsburg. The Grizzlies lost 2:3 (1:2, 0:0, 1:1) to the Swedish runner-up Lulea HF in their own hall, but they need a win away from home.
Darren Archibald (18′) and Jean-Christophe Beaudin (53′) scored the goals for Wolfsburg.
