The opponent in detail

The Düsseldorfer EG, currently in 12th place in the DEL-2 table with 34 points, comes into the game with the motivation to rehabilitate themselves after an ugly series of six defeats from the last seven games. Eishockey Magazin highlights that Düsseldorf has conceded a total of 30 goals in the last few games, which shows that the defense is under huge pressure. The last encounter with the Blue Devils Weiden also ended with a clear 0:5 defeat, and the game against EHC Freiburg was also lost 1:3.

There was a change in the coaching team: The previous head coach Rich Chernomaz was replaced by Harry Lange, who previously gained experience in Bad Nauheim. With a squad that includes some experienced players like Max Balinson, Nicolas Geitner and captain Maximilian Faber, the team is hoping for a positive turnaround. Faber in particular has already caused a stir with four goals and twelve assists this season.

Stats and history of the teams

Regensburg can look back on an eventful season: After a narrow 3-4 defeat against Krefeld, the Eisbären hope to get back on the road to success against Düsseldorf. The first duel in Düsseldorf ended in a 6-1 defeat, but Regensburg won 2-1 in overtime in another encounter. Regensburg is currently in 7th place in the table with 40 points, which is a solid performance.

Unfortunately, Regensburg has to do without some key players. Constantin Ontl and David Morley are injured and Jakob Weber will not play due to illness. With this starting position, it is up to the remaining players to inspire the fans in the Donau-Arena with a strong performance.

There is great anticipation for an exciting Christmas village in Regensburg, and all ice hockey fans are invited to experience this memorable evening together. Further information about the teams and current news from the DEL-2 can be found at DEL 2.
