Munich (ots)

His participation in the international games at the end of April he left open with a view to the NHL playoffs, but: “If it is somehow possible, then of course I’ll be ready immediately and would fly over there and play.” There is also a strong goalkeeper story from the PENNY DEL: Dennis Endras managed his 48th career shutout in the 3-0 win against DEG and is now the sole record holder: “Of course I’m happy about it.” Even more joy with the game’s first goalscorer, Benjamin Smith, after 13 seconds.

Below are the most important statements by Philipp Grubauer and the votes from the Tuesday games – if you use them, please name the source MagentaSport. On Wednesday, the PENNY DEL continues from 6.15 p.m. Among others with the Kölner Haien against EHC Red Bull Munich and Eisbären Berlin against Augsburger Panther. The next CONFERENCE will take place on Thursday at 7.15 p.m. with a total of 5 games – all games are live on MagentaSport.
Philipp Grubauer from the Colorado Avalanche answered questions from Patrick Ehelechner in the MagentaSport interview. The German is currently one of the best goalies in the NHL – and he is still very interested in the PENNY DEL. In contrast to the American ice hockey league, the playoffs in this country are played in the “Best-of-3” mode. Not bad, as Grubauer thinks: “That makes the whole thing extremely interesting. Normally in the first game you always look at how your opponent is playing and in the second game you know where to step on the gas. There is now no acclimatization phase. You have to be mentally ready and fresh right away and step on the gas. That makes the whole thing more interesting for teams that are not in the best position. ”
Grubauer also names his championship favorites: “Munich, Mannheim. But I would wish Berlin one day.”
The German national team will play games again at the end of April. If it works, he wants to be there: “We still have a lot of games and even with the playoffs it is difficult to plan at this moment. But if it is somehow possible, then of course I am ready immediately and would fly over there and play . ”

Adler Mannheim – Düsseldorfer EG 3-0
The Adler Mannheim march on cheerfully and are even praised by the DEG coach Kreis. Against DEG, the leaders of the southern group led 1-0 after just 13 seconds. Another quick goal in the second third sealed the eagle’s victory. Goalie Dennis Endras with his 48th shutout in the DEL, record: “I’m happy about it, of course, but it was also important that we scored an early goal today and also scored three. That is of course good for the boys.”
DEG missed the opportunity to catch up with Wolfsburg and remained in 5th place with 3 points less. Düsseldorf’s trainer Harold Kreis raved about the eagles: “When we hit the first goal, we give up the disc. On the 2nd there is a loss of a pane in the corner. Mannheim can switch incredibly quickly. Winning the disc in the offensive zone and then switching, in my opinion they do better than any other team in the league. ”
After 13 seconds, the Adler Mannheim already led 1-0 and thus went into the first break. Goalscorer and new dad Benjamin Smith said: “I didn’t know what it felt like after a couple of weeks off. It was a nice way to start and it was an important goal for us … I’ll dedicate the goal to my daughter. I looked at her on the bench thought and it was nice that the shot went in. It’s been a crazy last few weeks. We enjoyed every moment. ”
Pinguins Bremerhaven – Straubing Tigers 0: 4
The Straubing Tigers celebrate their 5th win in the last 6 games and with 5th place keep their chance of the playoffs. Goalie Sebastian Vogel managed the 3rd shutout in a row in an away game: “I have to say it’s unbelievable how these guys play for me and for the club. It’s amazing.”
Bremerhaven lets the polar bears go and is now 12 points behind the leader of the table. Maxime Fortunus stated: “We didn’t get into the game as strong as we needed it to. We have to start our games with a strong start, that helps our game and that’s our team identity … They were one step ahead of us today.”
Grizzlys Wolfsburg – Augsburger Panther 1:4
The grizzlies remain in fourth place in the north group. Wolfsburg’s Sebastian Furchner: “We already had our chances, it’s not like that. We shot at the crossbar at an empty goal, but there are games like that. The key is: tick off and go on. With so many games we leave it here in the dressing room today and then it goes on tomorrow. ”
Thanks to the win, Augsburg is still 5 points behind fourth place. Augsburg’s goalie Markus Keller was very satisfied after the game: “We played a very, very good game today. We did well at the back and were very effective at the front. Actually optimal.”
Schwenninger Wild Wings – Iserlohn Roosters 3: 2 OT
The Schwenninger Wild Wings equalized in the last minute and decided the following overtime for themselves. With 43 points they now occupy fourth place in the south group. Schwenningen’s winning goal scorer Tyson Spink: “It shows what kind of team we are. We were behind and we fought and scored a late goal … You always have to improve. There are still 9 games and a lot can happen. But good things will also happen. ”
Iserlohn can extend its lead with the point to 5th place and still occupies 3rd place. Casey Bailey analyzed: “It was an even game. We had our chances to score goals. Both goalies played a very good game. At the end of the day you don’t want to get a goal that late. But it’s the way it is. We tried to come back , but unfortunately we didn’t get the extra point. ”
