On the 19th match day of the main round in the 2nd German Ice Hockey League (DEL2), the Ice Pirates Crimmitschau conceded their third defeat in a row. At the previous front runner EC Bad Nauheim, the West Saxony lost after extra time with 1: 2 (0: 0, 1: 1, 0: 0/0: 1). Compared to the catch-up game in Freiburg, Crimmitschau started with a full band and kept the game evenly balanced for long periods in the goalless first third. In the second section, the hosts initially set the tone. The Eispiraten gained ground and took the lead in the 37th minute thanks to André Schietzold. After a large penalty against Willy Rudert, the equalizer fell immediately (38th). Then the ice pirates had a playful advantage, but the decision was not made until extra time. The ex-Crimmitschauer Tobias Wörle scored in the 64th minute for the Hessians. In the first home game after the forced Corona break, the ice pirates received the bottom of the table Selber Wölfe in the empty Sahnpark on Sunday at 5 p.m. (tmp)
