Overview
- The Joynext-Arena was evacuated Friday shortly before the scheduled 19:30 puck drop after a fire alarm sounded, and about 3,494 spectators left the building.
- The Dresden fire brigade inspected the arena and declared the signal a technical false alarm, clearing the venue so fans and teams could return.
- Warm-ups resumed around 19:50, the puck drop was reset close to 20:00, and the delay lasted roughly 20 to 30 minutes before play restarted.
- Dresdner Eislöwen responded with a 56-second opening goal by Tomas Andres and went on to a 5–1 victory, with Tyson Spink scoring twice and David Suvanto also on the scoresheet.
- Officials and players said the evacuation followed standard safety procedures with no injuries reported, the win marked Dresden’s fourth straight victory, and the team now prepares for an away game at Düsseldorf.
