On Tuesday, sales of the rest of the season season tickets began. This includes the last 14 main round home games of the season and therefore starts on December 12 with the game against the Straubing Tigers. The highlights of the small season ticket also include the top games against the Eisbären Berlin and the Kölner Haie. Buyers of the rest of the season season ticket can look forward to saving three games at the price of a single ticket. That means: Pay for 11 games – watch 14 games. Advance sales for the derby against DEG also started on November 28th at 4.30 p.m.
It is of course due to the defensive system that the clear scoring chances for the penguins are kept within limits, which then have to be used ice-cold. And that’s exactly what the attack lacks. Ice cold in front of goal is mainly Lucas Lessio, who scored his seventh goal of the season on Sunday. Jeremy Bracco is the team’s top scorer with six goals and eleven assists. Alex Weiss is well on target with his four goals. With Alexander Bergström there is hope that he will work his way up the list of goalscorers. Because he only played nine of the 15 games and scored four times. Robert Sabolic (3 goals) and Niclas Lucenius, who only scored his first DEL goal for Krefeld on Sunday and is lagging behind the expectations announced by the club, have some catching up to do. “It’s always good to score, but we didn’t win, so the goal doesn’t make me happy. We played well when we were outnumbered. Actually, we really wanted to win in front of our fans. But we are going in the right direction and we still have to improve small things. Losing with a goal is always tough. But we also played against a top team, ”said the Finn after the game.

The table shows that the teams with the fewest hits do not occupy a pre-play-off spot. But there is only one piece missing for play-off luck. Only four points separate the penguins from tenth place. Without a new “clipper” for the storm, it will be difficult to decisively escape the relegation zone. “I hope that we can present a new striker from abroad after the Germany Cup break,” said Sergey Saveljev on Sunday.

The question is whether the penguins can still afford new staff after their new entry Eduard Lewandowski, who will certainly not only receive fare until the end of the season. Certainly not because of the average attendance (3324) after eight games. The average is falling at all clubs, which has to do with the pandemic that has not yet been overcome. And in view of the Corona cases in the DEL, the fans will think twice about coming to the stadium.

The 15 clubs agreed on Tuesday to tighten their corona test strategy. From November 1st, teams that have unvaccinated players or officials in their ranks will be tested three times a week. People who have been vaccinated or who have recovered for more than two months are tested once a week. Only the PCR method is permitted as a test procedure. The current vaccination rate at the clubs is 93 percent.

In addition to the monthly costs, the penguins now have to pay the remainder of the severance pay for Daniel Pietta and Vinny Saponari as well as the contribution to the administrative trade association. Most sponsors’ money has already been paid at the beginning of the season. In the past, the shareholders, in particular Wolfgang Schulz, Helmut Borgmann and Dieter Berten, had provided financial support as sponsors or patrons. Sergey Saveljev said on Sunday that an average of 3500 spectators would just have to be dealt with.
