Overview
- Berlin beat the Ice Tigers 3:2 in front of 14,055, with goals from Lean Bergmann, Leonhard Pföderl and Ty Ronning.
- Marcel Noebels returned from a knee injury and Yannick Veilleux rejoined after a six-game ban to bolster the attack.
- With several defensemen out including Mitch Reinke, coach Serge Aubin again deployed Tiffels on defense and leaned into a simpler, low-risk style.
- Goaltender Jake Hildebrand delivered key saves to preserve the result, days after a 3:2 shootout win in Frankfurt extended the run.
- Elsewhere, Dresdner Eislöwen lost 5:4 in overtime to Bremerhaven on Max Görtz’s winner and remain without a first DEL home victory.
