Neffin’s Five Shutouts Lift Eisbären Berlin to DEL Lead

His early run of clean sheets has tightened Berlin’s defence, raising discussion about a possible national-team call-up.

Overview

  • Neffin recorded his fifth shutout in seven DEL appearances in a 4-0 win at Krefeld on Thursday, helping Berlin to that clean sheet.
  • The 26-year-old moved from DEL2’s Eisbären Regensburg this summer after being named DEL2 MVP and made his DEL debut on the fourth matchday.
  • Neffin’s form has been central to Berlin conceding just 16 goals in ten games, a mark that leaves the defending champions top of the league table.
  • Neffin says he is calm and focused, telling Magentasport he is “happy to play match by match,” and the team has won six of his seven appearances.
  • Selection for the Deutschland Cup under new coach André Rankel is currently speculative, and Neffin could extend his streak in Friday’s home game against Augsburger Panther.
