- Löwen Frankfurt scored through Ty Glover on a power play, Carter Rowney with another man‑advantage strike, and Michael Joyaux to secure the home win.
- The result moves Frankfurt 13 points clear of last place, creating valuable breathing room in the relegation fight.
- Dresden arrived in Frankfurt with the game framed as a last‑chance encounter after a 2:5 home defeat to Munich heightened the pressure.
- Ex-Frankfurt goalie Jussi Olkinuora, who joined Dresden following a successful employment dispute and settlement in the summer, was on the bench and did not feature.
- Frankfurt’s uptick continued after a win over Munich and an overtime loss in Bremerhaven, while Dresden’s offensive struggles went unrewarded despite third‑period space.
