Mannheim
The guests from Lower Bavaria missed good chances and failed because of goalkeeper Brückmann, who did not concede a goal in his first DEL appearance after his move from Wolfsburg back to Mannheim.
“For me personally it was fun. It’s a shame that the hall is empty,” said 30-year-old national goalkeeper Brückmann at MagentaSport: “I think it took us a little to get into the game. We may not have done well played, but fought well. “
Wolf, Olympic runner-up in 2018, put Mannheim in the lead in the second third when he poked the puck into the goal after a shot by national defender Denis Reul (28th minute). Tommi Huhtala (49th) and Jason Bast (51st) made the decision in the middle of the final third.
In their first game of the season, the Mannheimers had won 5-1 against the Nürnberg Ice Tigers. The Straubing Tigers started the season with a 3: 4 after penalty shootout against EHC Red Bull Munich, which started three months later than planned due to the Corona crisis.
