Munich (AP) – In the second game after its Corona break, the EHC Red Bull Munich conceded the fourth defeat of the season in the German Ice Hockey League.

Three days after the 2-0 win against newly promoted Bietigheim Steelers, Bayern lost 2: 4 (2: 1, 0: 1, 0: 2) against runner-up Grizzlys Wolfsburg on Friday evening and remain second in the table.

Although strikers Trevor Parkes and Benjamin Smith are dying back in the squad at the EHC, the team does not look one hundred percent fit after many corona infections. After a good start, she fell behind after goals from Spencer Machacek (10th minute) and Christopher Desousa (17th), Fabio Pfohl (36th) and Trevor Mingoia (53th) made the decision in favor of Wolfsburg, which was a series ended with three losses. Only Parkes (56th) and Austin Ortega (60th) scored for the hosts in the closing stages.

Title favorite Adler Mannheim prevailed 4: 2 (1: 1, 0: 0, 3: 1) in Bietigheim and remains the front runner with 37 points. Borna Rendulic (4th), twice Markus Eisenschmid (9th .. 48th) and Jason Bast (18th) scored the goals for the seventh Mannheim victory in a row. For the Steelers, Norman Hauner (7th) and Riley Sheen (44th) met.

Master Eisbären Berlin won against the Fischtown Pinguins from Bremerhaven after a weak start with 5: 2 (3: 0, 2: 1, 0: 1). The team of coach Serge Aubin turned it 0-2 deficit and came through the goals of national player Marcel Noebels (30th), Kevin Clark (38th), two Giovanni Fiore (42nd, 59th) and national player Leonhard Pföderl ( 56.) to the overall deserved victory.
