Tigers on course for the title: Exciting duels against Augsburg and Bremerhaven!

After an exciting international break, the Straubing Tigers are ready to take the next step in the DEL. On Friday they will host the Augsburger Panthers in their arena, followed by a duel against the Pinguins Bremerhaven on Sunday. The Tigers are currently in first place in the table and want to further consolidate their top position. The Tigers have won five of their last six games and thus impressively show that they are one of the strongest teams in the league.

But the Augsburg Panthers are not an easy opponent. After an impressive 5-1 win against the Schwenninger Wild Wings, they are comfortably in seventh place in the table. In their last game, the boys around striker Henriquez turned things around in the middle third and turned the score from 0-1 to a quick 4-1. With their key players like Kunyk, Mayhew, Busdeker and Damiani, they occupy an important place in the team. Unfortunately, a move from striker Luca Tosto to Düsseldorfer EG does not heal the Panthers' ranks and defender Fabrizio Pilu is expected to be out for several weeks. Still, T.J. Trevelyan, Anthony Louis and Moritz Elias return from injury and whip the team forward to test the Tigers.

Bremerhaven in view

On Sunday the Tigers will look at the Pinguins Bremerhaven, who are currently in a strong third place and have recently celebrated four wins in a row, including a remarkable 4-1 win against Berlin. The Bremerhaven team not only has a disciplined defense, but also two excellent goalkeepers: Hudacek and Hungerecker. However, their penalty killing is an Achilles heel, as they had to accept a painful three goals when they were outnumbered in the CHL. In addition, they are plagued by injuries, as the appearances of Jan Urbas, Phillip Bruggisser and Nicholas Jensen are questionable.

The course of the season duels so far is also interesting. In their first meeting, the Tigers won 5:2 against Bremerhaven and 5:3 against Augsburg. It will be interesting to see how the teams will perform on the ice. The particularly outstanding player for the Tigers is Marcel Brandt with 20 points, who is one of the best in the league with his powerful shots of 167.2 km/h. In goal, Henrik Haukeland has impressive statistics and has a goals against average of 2.076 with three shutouts.

The city of Straubing, where the Tigers are based, not only offers a sports-loving atmosphere, but also impresses with its historical backdrop. The place is idyllically located on the Danube and has a special attraction once a year with the annual Gäubodenvolksfest, the second largest folk festival in Bavaria. Historic & cultural richness is very important here, with sights such as the Gothic Basilica of St. Jacob and the Romanesque city tower shaping the cityscape.
