Overview

• On the DEL’s fourth matchday, the defending champions fell 1:5 at the Fischtown Pinguins Bremerhaven.
• The setback followed a 1:7 loss at Adler Mannheim two days earlier, marking back-to-back heavy defeats.
• Bremerhaven exploited defensive gaps, with goals from Alexander Friesen (10', 42'), Christian Wejse (15'), Phillip Bruggisser (31') and Nicolas Krämmer (47').
• Berlin accumulated too many penalties and conceded multiple goals while shorthanded, compounding their struggles.
• Ty Ronning and Blaine Byron were out injured and Veilleux served the first game of a six-match suspension; Liam Kirk scored a late power-play consolation as Berlin slid toward mid-table.
