The Eisbären Berlin seem to have found their shape. "You can see that we have grown together as a team," said double scorer Blaine Byron after the 6-3 win against ERC Ingolstadt on Sunday. "We know what we have to do, we are successful and are now getting the victories." After the polar bears started the season mixed up, there are now four wins in a row in the German Ice Hockey League (DEL), with the team of head coach Serge Aubin has always scored at least five times in the opposing goal in the last three encounters.
Berlin - What stands out is the effectiveness of the capital city club.
Against Ingolstadt, 27 completions on the opposing goal were enough to score six goals.
On the other hand, goalie Mathias Niederberger was able to fend off 50 shots and only had to reach behind him three times.
“Mathias was outstanding,” said Aubin, praising his goalkeeper.
"But there were still situations in which we could have worked a little cleaner in the back."
However, the Berlin coach did not have to have any major cause for concern.
After the quick 3-0 lead, the guests succeeded in the first goal of the second period, but the answer followed promptly when Byron scored the fourth goal for the home side less than a minute later.
"Our special teams have definitely improved," said the striker with satisfaction.
“That's the difference between winning and losing a game.
And when you get the opportunity to get a shorthander, you do it. ”No sooner said than done.
After his 4: 1, the polar bears were able to extend their lead to 6: 1.
After that, the victory was no longer in real danger.
