Overview
- After falling behind in the first, Kassel flipped the game with two second-period goals to win at home.
- Henri Kanninen opened for ESV Kaufbeuren before Darren Mieszkowski equalized and Dominic Turgeon netted the winner for his 11th of the season.
- The victory halted Kassel’s two-game winless run that included a shootout defeat in Freiburg.
- Kaufbeuren’s attack was depleted with import forwards D’Artagnan Joly and Joe Cassetti out and Jason Bast departing via exit clause to rejoin Augsburg.
- Goalie Philipp Maurer denied late ESVK chances, while Rihards Babulis returned to start for the visitors but could not stave off the comeback.
