This marked the third defeat in a row for the Tigers, who will have to push to find their form to avoid losing touch with the top.

EHC Munich remains at the top

Despite these successes, the Nuremberg Ice Tigers and the Löwen Frankfurt remain in search of consistency. While the Lions have recorded three wins in their last five games under coach Tom Pokel, the Ice Tigers are in a similar position and are striving for improvements to avoid being dragged into the relegation vortex.
