Traveling is not so popular these days and a trip from Berlin to Düsseldorf feels like half a trip around the world. The polar bears scrubbed the many kilometers along the Rhine on Monday for the second time within 14 days – and in the end again for nothing. After the 4: 5 after extra time at the Düsseldorfer EG two weeks ago it was a 3: 5 (2: 2, 0: 2, 1: 1) defeat this time for the Berliners and thus they lost the table lead in the German ice hockey League to the game-free Bremerhaven.
It was initially a very wild game in which Düsseldorf’s Alexander Barta was allowed to defeat Berlin goalkeeper Mathias Niederberger twice from the same position from half-right in the first third – 1-0 and 2-2 for DEG. In between, Kris Foucault and Leo Pföderl met for Berlin. Pföderl was the most noticeable player in the Eisbären, but that didn’t help either: Tobias Eder brought Düsseldorf back into the lead in the middle section, Nicholas Jensen scored 4-2 for DEG, before Jonas Müller brought the Berliners back into the game with his goal – until the Berlin-born Barta made everything clear with the goal of 5: 3 for Düsseldorf in the final minute.

It was a bitter evening for the polar bears. Niederberger left his box unnerved after conceding the third goal, Tobias Ancicka came for him. In addition, Mark Olver and Haakon Hänelt injured themselves on the part of the Berliners, who invest a lot and in the end left the dome in the Rath district of Düsseldorf damaged.

Jonas Müller, who scored his first goal in two years, was annoyed. “We only had ten shots in the first two thirds, that was clearly not enough. We didn’t all work well together, we want to do better in the next game, ”he said. And the next game for the polar bears is on Thursday. At least they don’t have to travel then. The Iserlohn Roosters are coming to Berlin. (Tsp)
