Defending champion Adler Mannheim meanwhile moved up to one point on Straubing . Mannheim defeated the Krefeld penguins 3-0 (1-0, 0-0, 2-0) and ended a series of four defeats.
DEL: Kölner Haie win second game under Uwe Krupp
Meanwhile, coach returnee Uwe Krupp also won his second game with the Cologne Sharks . With the 3: 2 (1: 2, 1: 0, 1: 0) at the Iserlohn Roosters , the Haie, who had only ended their 17-game defeat series on the previous day, kept their minimal chance of pre-play-offs. However, Cologne is dependent on further slip-ups of the Augsburg Panthers , who have a seven-point advantage after the 2: 3 (1: 0, 0: 2, 1: 0, 0: 0, 0: 1) penalty shootout at the ERC Ingolstadt . A maximum of nine points can still be earned.
