Eisbären Berlin Fall to Fischtown Pinguins in DEL Showdown

The league leaders struggled with penalties and missed scoring opportunities in a narrow 1:2 loss to Bremerhaven.

Eisbären Berlin's three-game winning streak ended with a 1:2 defeat against Fischtown Pinguins Bremerhaven on Tuesday evening.
Leonhard Pföderl scored an early goal for the Eisbären, but penalties disrupted their momentum and allowed Bremerhaven to capitalize on power plays.
Bremerhaven's Phillip Bruggisser scored twice in the first period, including one during a five-on-three power play, securing the lead for the hosts.
The Eisbären struggled to convert a rare five-on-three power play and were repeatedly denied by Bremerhaven's standout goaltender, Kristers Gudlevskis.
Despite the loss, Eisbären Berlin remain at the top of the DEL standings and will face second-place ERC Ingolstadt in another key matchup on Friday.
