Dresden Edges Schwenningen 4–3 in Overtime as Ortega Delivers Winner

The result offers a lift for a last-place Dresden side still chasing points to climb the DEL table.

Overview

  • Austin Ortega scored twice, including the decisive overtime goal, to cap a night of multiple lead changes.
  • Travis Turnbull opened the scoring at 16 minutes off a Tomas Andres diagonal pass, ending Dresden’s long goal drought.
  • Schwenningen equalized through Hakon Hänelt and later led via Dominik Bittner and Kyle Platzer before Andrew Yogan leveled 43 seconds after the 2:3.
  • Coach Niklas Sundblad lauded what he called the team’s best first period of the season, crediting the home crowd of about 4,421 for the support.
  • It was only Dresden’s second home win, with the club still last in the standings two points behind Iserlohn despite one more game played, and upcoming trips to Mannheim and Wolfsburg before hosting the Roosters.
