ERC offense not yet running smoothly - despite Pietta
Our opponent was also in action in the CHL. On Tuesday, the ERC lost 4-1 to the Växjö Lakers in their own arena, with Daniel Pietta scoring the only goal. It was no surprise that the 36-year-old veteran scored. Pietta is having a good season and is the Panthers' top scorer in the DEL with 13 points in 18 games.
However, Pietta is "only" 42nd in the league, which also highlights one of Ingolstadt's problems: the runners-up are scoring too few goals. Only penultimate-placed Düsseldorf and bottom-placed Iserlohn were less successful. This is another reason why the Panthers are currently tenth in the table.
