Overview
- Dresdner Eislöwen fell 1–4 at the Wild Wings and dropped to last place after Frankfurt’s win in Iserlohn.
- Dresden dressed only eleven forwards and five defensemen, reflecting a string of injuries and a suspension.
- The second period unraveled with six Dresden penalties for 15 minutes as Schwenningen capitalized on the power play.
- Coach Niklas Sundblad had emphasized a compact, defensive approach and cited familiarity with Schwenningen’s NHL‑width ice.
- Trevor Parkes briefly tied the game on a power play before late goals, including an empty‑netter, sealed the loss.
