Krefeld The goalkeeper belongs to the starting six in the home game of the Krefeld Pinguine against Augsburg on Friday. In the goalkeeper statistics, the German-Russian ranks third with a rate of 92.8 percent. It will depend on him against the panthers.

After eight home games of the new Ice Age, the penguins only have two wins to book. Not enough to attract more fans to the Yayla Arena again. Because good performance alone is not enough. On Friday, the black and yellow will have the next opportunity to polish their home balance. Because the Augsburg Panthers will be guests at 7.30 p.m., against which they won 3-1 two weeks ago. With a win, the black and yellow could overtake the guests, who are currently eleventh in the table with 18 points.

The duel against the Swabians from Bavaria is the prelude to a tough program with four games within seven days. Sunday it goes to the Cologne Sharks. Tuesday the Grizzly Wolfsburg come to the Lower Rhine. On Thursday the trip goes to Berlin. Then the Germany Cup break begins. The away game in Iserlohn will not continue until November 19.

The penguins urgently need the break, as the coaches had to make do with a short squad in the end. One or the other injury has to be healed. Goalkeeper Sergei Belov will be out even longer. It is not yet clear whether he will be available again from December 13th, when Nikita Quapp’s preparations for the U20 World Cup in Canada and will not return until January 6th. The penguins may have to equip a young KEV goalkeeper with a sponsorship license. Matthias Bittner already took part in the training of the DEL team. The fans of the penguins would definitely like to see Patrick Klein in the DEL-Tor again. But he would have to officially change clubs and sign a contract with the penguins.

At the moment, the goalkeeping situation is not a worry. Nikita Quapp and Oleg Shilin have shown consistently good performances recently. Shilin, who belongs to the starting six against Augsburg, has worked his way up to third place in the DEL goalkeeper statistics with a catch rate of 92.8 percent.

When he was Augsburg’s first guest of the season, Quapp was in goal, who mastered 36 of the 37 shots on goal of the Panthers. The penguins only got 21 shots on goal. This shows that a good goalkeeping performance is needed again. Co-trainer Boris Blank worked on the penetration this week in training: “We know that we have to make better use of our goal chances.” A new striker will soon take care of that. “We will only sign one player who suits us and who can help us immediately,” said coach Igor Zakharkin.

The Augsburgers have of course firmly resolved to take something countable with them on the long journey home this time. However, coach Mark Pederson has to continue without important players. Goalkeeper Olivier Roy, defender Wade Bergman, who made a brief stint in Krefeld last season, and striker Colin Campbell are injured. But ex-penguin Scott Valentine is there again, who had to watch the first comparison in Krefeld because of a suspension.
