Promoted Dresden Claims First DEL Win After Fox Scores on Return

A seven-minute burst in the middle frame broke the contest open, leaving Frankfurt winless through three games.

Overview

  • Dresdner Eislöwen beat Löwen Frankfurt 6:3 for the club’s first victory in Germany’s top tier, pulling away with three goals in seven second‑period minutes for a 4:1 lead.
  • Dane Fox marked his comeback from a three‑month doping suspension by opening the scoring and later setting up Andrew Yogan, who sealed the result with two third‑period goals including an empty-netter.
  • Frankfurt fell to 0–3 as new signing Ty Glover scored on debut and the hosts switched goalies from Mirko Pantkowski to Cody Brenner late.
  • Special teams and improved faceoff play after the first intermission were highlighted as keys to Dresden’s control of the game.
  • League context: Adler Mannheim handed Eisbären Berlin a 7:1 defeat, 16‑year‑old Max Penkin became the DEL’s youngest goal scorer, and concern followed a heavy hit that left Mannheim’s Luke Esposito stretchered off.
