Dresden Ice Lions narrowly miss home win: drama against Bremerhaven!
In a dramatic duel, the Dresdner Eislöwen lost their first home game in the German Ice Hockey League (DEL) against the Fishtown Pinguins Bremerhaven 4:5 after overtime. It was a start that captivated the audience in the fully occupied Joynext Arena with 4,400 spectators, including 800 from Bremerhaven.

However, Bremerhaven equalized with 1:19 minutes left through Wejse, which led to extra time.
In overtime it was Max Görtz who scored the decisive goal for Bremerhaven and thus denied the Eislöwen their first home win.

Austin Ortega was convinced that the team is learning from the experiences it has gained and is continually improving.
