Salzburg – Jeremy McKenna (12:58:25)
A hard check by Martin Pospisil into the end boards draws a minor penalty for checking from behind and automatic 10-minute misconduct, so he is finished for this game.
A good shift there from Berlin. Schroder's shot from the point was stopped, but OLIVER NOACK scored on the rebound.
Assist: Nico Schroder.
3rd period begins at 12:32.
A bad breakout pass in the Salzburg zone and TARO JENTZSCH takes advantage, skating to the front of the net and shooting high to the glove side on Batory. A bit of good fortune in ano otherwise dreadful period for Die Eisbaren.
They're making it look easy now. It seems that Berlin have almost quit as Salzburg pass the puck in their end of the ice. CARSON DIMOFF finishes this play.
Assist: Cedric Schiemenz
This is becoming a debacle now. Bappert from the point passed down to JUSTIN SCHUTZ, Steffer stopped his first shot but Schutz got his own rebound and put it in.
This is just bad luck for Berlin, as PHILIP SANDER had the puck below the goal line and his attempt to pass it in front his the goalie Steffer and went into the net! As it came 2 seconds after the end of the Berlin penalty, it is technically the third shorthanded goal for Salzburg this game.
Teams will play 4 on 4 as there is a penalty for a slash on the goalie after the whistle.
This is the top line of Salzburg and they showed it on that play, gaining control off the faceoff and Savage found CARSON DIMOFF at the side of the net for the easy goal.
Assists: Ryan Savage, Jeremy McKenna.
They moved the puck around the attacking zone, then Zimmerman from the point found DENNIS MILLER in front of the net and he re-directed it through the legs of Steffer.
Assists: Carl Zimmerman, Moritz Wirth.
As we've seen, however, Salzburg are still quite dangerous while shorthanded.
Very unfortunate for Berlin -- 2 shorthanded goals for Salzburg on the same penalty! This one by CEDRIC SCHIEMENZ, who got behind the Berlin defence to reach a loose puck, then went in on a breakaway, faked a shot on Steffer to cause the goalie to move and then slid the puck into the open side of the net.
2nd period begins at 11:46
On a shorthanded 2 on 1, McKenna went wide and passed around the stick of the Berlin defenceman onto the stick of CARSON DIMOFF, who one-timed it inside the post. Shorthanded goal.
Assist: Jeremy McKenna.
They continued with the pressure after the faceoff, Steffer made another save but RYAN SAVAGE was at the side of the net to put in the rebound. Power-play goal.
Assists: Cedric Schiemenz, Moritz Wirth.
Neuparth's shot was saved by Batory, then as the play moved away he took out the feet from a Salzburg player.
The pass came across for a one-timer from Karrer, Batory stopped it but the rebound came in front to DONAT, who went upstairs with it for a power-play goal.
Assists: Julius Karrer, Hendrick Robel.
