After Freiburg’s initial superiority, Bietigheim took over the initiative in the middle third and had two mega chances through Alexander Preibisch and Breitkreuz, which Wölfe goalkeeper Benjamin Meisner, the best goalkeeper of the past season, thwarted. Shortly before the second third break, it was time for two professionals to go home early: Benjamin Hüfner had to go off the ice with a head injury after a gang check by Evan Mosey, and Freiburg’s “ruffian” received a large penalty plus playing time.
