Overview
- Berlin halted a two-game skid with a 6–3 home win over Augsburg in the DEL, pulling steadier in the race for a top-six finish.
- Noebels logged his 500th DEL point by assisting the opening goal after 40 seconds before a sold-out crowd of 14,200 at the Uber Arena.
- BILD reports the 33-year-old forward has agreed a longer-term contract with Kölner Haie and is set to leave after his expiring deal, which the club had indicated would not be renewed.
- Liam Kirk, Leonhard Pföderl, Korbinian Geibel, Andreas Eder, Blaine Byron and Frederik Tiffels scored for Berlin, with Riley Damiani netting twice and Alexander Blank scoring for Augsburg.
- Next week brings three straight road games in Munich and Iserlohn before the Winter Game in Dresden, a stretch likely to shape Berlin’s playoff positioning.
