Overview

• Fischtown Pinguins defeated Swedish champions Lulea HF 2–0 in Bremerhaven to stay in contention for the knockout stage.
• Bennet Roßmy opened the scoring in the 23rd minute before Jan Urbas sealed the result in the 54th minute.
• The victory lifts Bremerhaven to 15th in the overall table, with the top 16 advancing and a final group match at Storhamar on October 14 where they must take points.
• Eisbären Berlin lost 1–4 to Frölunda for a fourth straight group defeat, with Leo Pföderl scoring the team’s lone goal.
• Berlin’s outlook worsened after confirming Khodorenko’s season-ending knee injury, with Kai Wissmann and Marcel Noebels also sidelined long term, and the next game at Salzburg likely requiring outside help to stay alive.
