Fischtown Pinguins Fall 2–1 at Storhamar, Round-of-16 Bid in Doubt

Bremerhaven's place in the Champions Hockey League knockouts now hinges on other results.

Overview

  • Storhamar struck through Axel Sandnes in the 17th minute and Sander Hurrød in the 28th before Jan Urbas made it 2–1 in the 55th.
  • Bremerhaven ended the night in 15th place in the overall CHL table, and only the top 16 progress to the round of 16.
  • Up to five teams, including German champion Eisbären Berlin, could still overtake them when the remaining sixth‑matchday games finish on Wednesday.
  • Reporting cited a congested trip from a Sunday DEL game in Dresden via Berlin to Norway as a factor in the team’s reduced freshness and finishing.
  • Manager Sebastian Furchner said the squad tried everything and voiced hope as they await other results, while EHC Ingolstadt has already secured qualification.
