The lead is not undeserved given the second third so far. Ingolstadt lets DEG do it and they reward themselves with the lead in this power play.

Goal for Düsseldorfer EG, 1:0 by Daniel Fischbuch
Düsseldorf strikes in this power play! The disc comes half-left to Fischbuch, who finishes with a one-timer and hits the goal half-high over Garteig’s stick hand side. 1:0!
27
19:54
Minor penalty (2 minutes) for Charles Bertrand (ERC Ingolstadt)
Charles Bertrand has to go into the cooler for two minutes because of stopping, DEG outnumbered!
26
19:53
Ingolstadt now with two shots from the blue line, but Henrik Haukeland parries with the schooner.
25
19:52
Up to the end, what both offer here looks quite respectable, but there are simply no clear conclusions. Both goalkeepers have not even been challenged in this period so far.
23
19:49
Both lose a lot of discs in the neutral zone, the accuracy of the pass can still be improved on in both cases.
22
19:47
The DEG initially settles firmly in the attack third, but then Kousa cannot control the disc properly and the puck goes out.
21
19:45
Let’s go, third two is running!

19:45
Beginning of 2nd third
20
19:29
third conclusion:
The first third is over, it’s still 0-0. It was a fast third with very few interruptions but also very few chances to score. The guests were the game-determining team for long stretches of this third and pressed a little more. Towards the end, Düsseldorf also had two or three opportunities. Overall, there is still relatively little going on in front of the gates. It’s about to go on!
18
19:26
Ingolstadt is now complete again. The ERC survived the outnumbered unscathed.
17
19:24
Mikko Kousa’s shot from the center is deflected and loses speed. Then there is confusion before Garteig, which is finally fouled.
16
19:22
Minor penalty (2 minutes) for Frederik Storm (ERC Ingolstadt)
Now the first penalty for the guests, it hits Storm because of excessive hardness.
16
19:22
Ingolstadt now in the formation. They settle in the third of the DEG for a very long time, and the disc flies through the slot several times. Ingolstadt misses the moment of completion first, before Ronning tries it from half left and fails at Haukeland.
14
19:18
Minor penalty (2 minutes) for Stephen Harper (Düsseldorfer EG)
Next penalty for the DEG, this time it hits Harper because of a stick blow. Does the ERC do better this time and create chances?
14
19:18
Barta with the first degree for the DEG! But Michael Garteig parried with the schooner.
13.
19:17
DEG complete again!
12.
19:17
Düsseldorf has done very well in this minority so far, Ingolstadt is not included in the list at all.
11.
19:14
Minor penalty (2 minutes) for Josef Eham (Düsseldorfer EG)
First time penalty of the game, Eham hits for a cross check. Outnumbered now for Ingolstadt.
10
19:12
It’s a fast paced game with very few interruptions. Ingolstadt is clearly the game-determining team. DEG has not yet scored a goal.
9.
19:11
First big chance of the game! After a nice side shift, Mathew Bodie has space on the left. Haukeland defused his low shot with the schooner. The ERC then put the rebound just outside the goal.
7.
19:09
Tye McGinn is wanted in the slot but narrowly misses the disc. The pressure from the guests is increasing. The DEG can hardly free itself.
6.
19:07
The guests with a two to two switching situation. Wayne Simpson tries it alone with a subtle move, but then gets separated from the gaming device.
5.
19:06
Ingolstadt can now settle a little in the third of the DEG, but the dangerous conclusion is still missing.
3.
19:04
Otherwise it’s a rather cautious start from both teams, there aren’t any chances to score yet.
2.
19:03
Good pre-check of the guests who conquer the disc so early. Mathew Bodie’s shot is then blocked.
1.
19:00
Let’s go, the puck fell!
18:57
Henrik Haukeland is between the posts for the hosts. Michael Garteig starts on the guest side.
18:55
The teams are coming to the PSD Bank Dome, it’s about to start here!
18:44
On offense, four players have stood out a bit in terms of scorers in these playoffs so far. Leon Hüttel from the ERC has four points, including three assists. With Gogulla, Barta and Kousa three players in the playoffs have already scored five points at DEG. It should be noted, however, that DEG has already played two more playoff games than ERC, because Düsseldorf first had to secure a place in the quarter-finals in a duel with Frankfurt.
18:36
The focus will be on the goalkeepers again today. In those, DEG goalie Hendrik Haukeland has a slightly better catch rate of 93.75% in the playoffs than his counterpart Michael Garteig with 92.05%. However, both values are outstanding, so both teams know that they have a good goalie in their ranks.
18:28
In order for this to succeed, the exploitation of opportunities at the ERC must improve again today. Head coach Mark French agrees, summing up after the home defeat against Düsseldorf: “We had chances but didn’t take them. There were also big opportunities in overtime and we were on the power play. But as it is, if you don’t take chances, you get them in the back.”
18:22
Today in the home game, the Rhinelanders want to equalize in the series with the help of their fans. Ingolstadt, on the other hand, naturally wants to land the second victory in Düsseldorf in order to possibly decide the series on Friday in front of their home crowd.
18:12
After Ingolstadt won game one of the series 5:4 in overtime and a few days later also won the second game, this time 3:1, Düsseldorf was under a bit of pressure last Sunday in Ingolstadt. DEG also fell behind three early in this game and only forced the equalizer in the 56th minute. The celebrated hero for DEG in the 76th minute was Alex Ehl, who scored the 2:1 winner and ensured that DEG reduced the series to 1:2.
18:07
The Schanzer lead 2:1 in the series against the DEG. All three previous quarterfinal matches were extremely close and competitive, two were even decided in overtime.
18:03
Game four is coming up! Hello and welcome to the fourth playoff quarterfinal match between Düsseldorfer EG and ERC Ingolstadt. Bully is at 19:00!
