Germany
Philip Buncis scored successfully on Wednesday in the German Hockey League (DEL) match, but his team, Christopher Bindulis and Mārtiņš Karsums, suffered a ninth loss in their field in nine games this season. Krefeld’s “Pinguine”, represented by Bunch, Bindul and Karsum, gave up the Wolfsburg “Grizzly” with 2: 3 (0: 0, 1: 1, 1: 2) in their field.
In the 52nd minute, Buncis successfully assisted Bret Olson in the last goal of the match. He finished the game in 12 minutes and 12 seconds on the court with one shot on the opponent’s goal. Bindulis spent 25 minutes and 21 seconds on the ice in this duel, shooting five times for the goal, which was the best score in the team. The heat was thrown four times in 15 minutes and 41 seconds.
The Pinguine team lost in all nine games and took the last seventh place in the Nordic group without points. In the DEL regular championship, 14 teams are divided into two groups – North and South. Within their group, the teams will play four mutual games, but with the units of the other group there will be two mutual matches. The elimination tournament will feature the four strongest teams in each group.
Switzerland
Goalkeeper Ivars Punnenovs capitulated in extra time in the Swiss Premier League (NLA) game on Tuesday, unable to save Langnava’s “Tigers” from loss. At home, the Tigers gave up Ambri-Piotta with 1: 2 (0: 0, 0: 1, 1: 0, 0: 1).
Punnenov repelled 14 of the 16 shots in this game, handling 87.5% of the show. The goalkeeper capitulated in overtime in the 27th second, when Diego Kostner won the victory for the guests. Striker Tom Anderson spent 12 minutes and two seconds on the pitch, blocking one shot and closing the game with a negative efficiency of -1.
In another game, Geneva’s “Servette” gave way to “Zug” with the guests 3: 5 (1: 2, 2: 2, 0: 1). Sandis Smons was allowed to take it quickly by the referee, much to the dismay of the goalkeeper who wasn’t prepared. Forward Denis Smirnov continues to heal the injury.
It has already been reported that Lausanne, represented by Ronald King, has been quarantined due to Covid-19. Of the clubs represented by Latvians, the highest is Servette, which has accumulated 44 points in 25 games and is in the fourth position. “Tigers” with 23 points in 27 matches takes 11th place. Last season, the NLA tournament ended after a regular championship, so for the second time in history and for the first time since 1940, the Swiss champion in hockey was not crowned.
