Eisbären Berlin Extend Lead as Neffin Delivers Fourth Shutout

A breakout goaltender performance is widening Berlin’s early lead in the DEL by turning tight games into clear wins.

Overview

  • Berlin beat Fischtown Pinguins 3-0 to record a sixth straight victory, with goals from Jonas Müller, Andreas Eder and Manuel Wiederer and goalkeeper Jonas Neffin keeping a clean sheet.
  • Neffin, who moved to Berlin from the DEL2 this summer, has four shutouts in five appearances and was central to the club’s recent run of wins.
  • The result leaves Eisbären on top of the table with 20 points, with Nürnberg four points behind and Red Bull München on 15 points.
  • Nürnberg have lost three matches in a row after falling 2-4 at Kölner Haie, a game in which Köln went 2-0 up inside 44 seconds.
  • National player Fabio Wagner returned from a 14-game suspension and logged about 14 minutes in his side’s 4-3 win over Schwenninger, a cautious reintegration that highlights how discipline and availability are affecting team depth this season.
