DEG and Augsburg Panthers Face Decisive Match in DEL Relegation Battle

With only two games left in the season, Tuesday's matchup will determine if Düsseldorf secures safety or if Augsburg keeps their survival hopes alive.

• The Düsseldorfer EG (DEG) currently holds a three-point lead over the Augsburg Panthers in the battle to avoid last place in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL).
• A win for DEG in Tuesday's game against Augsburg would guarantee their safety and confirm Augsburg's relegation risk before the final matchday.
• If Augsburg wins in regulation, they will tie DEG on points and edge ahead due to a superior goal differential, making Friday's games decisive.
• Augsburg's final game is against Iserlohn, a team already safe from relegation, while DEG will face Wolfsburg, who may still be vying for a playoff spot.
• This season marks the first time in years that relegation is a significant threat, as five DEL-2 teams are eligible for promotion.
