Adrian Klein scored for the home team in the 11th minute, Tim Fleischer extended the lead with a powerplay goal (14th). However, the Berliners were able to reduce their deficit a little later with a goal from Veilleux (15th).
The Berliners improve significantly in the second third
After the first break, the guests started powerfully, Pföderl equalized (22′). The Berliners remained the much more dangerous team after that and took the lead for the first time shortly after the start of the final period with a goal from Byron (42nd).
Afterwards, the guests, who had to do without seven injured or sick professionals, confidently defended their narrow lead. Veilleux made the final score with his second goal after Straubing goalie Florian Bugl left the ice in favor of an additional field player (59′).
