Overview
- The Nov. 23 game in Weiden was stopped at 27:41 after a plexiglass panel split during a collision between Fabian Voit and Jake Weidner with Kassel leading 1:0.
- Weiden's attempts to patch the damage with a small pane, screws and tape were deemed unsafe, and a full replacement arrived minutes too late to meet the league's deadline.
- Following an investigation, DEL2 awarded a 5:0 result and three points to the Kassel Huskies and fined the Blue Devils Weiden.
- The league said the home club bears responsibility for providing a playable arena, calling replacement panes standard across venues and labeling the incident an organizational fault.
- The ruling lifted Kassel to the top of the table, while the status of Marco Müller's earlier goal was not specified in the announcement.
