What mistake the Red Bulls don't want to make despite leading the series 3-0 Quotes & stats for the third quarter-final match// DEL - NEWSWolfsburg showed the expected reaction, but the Red Bulls were also unstoppable in Game 3. The reward: four match points. Nevertheless, coach Toni Söderholm's team does not want to make a certain mistake. The quotes & stats.

Toni Söderholm: "It felt like it was the hardest win in this series so far. Wolfsburg started strongly. You saw how good they are when you give them time and space. But we came back into the game with a very strong second period. The team also talked internally, which is important. We have great self-confidence. Now we'll enjoy the win and then we'll prepare the team for Sunday. We're not going to make the mistake of thinking about what might happen after the fourth game."

Patrick Hager: "Wolfsburg demanded everything from us - especially in the first 20 minutes. They played with more energy. In the second period, we found the game that has made us strong in this series. And then we scored the goals at the right moment. Both teams don't give each other anything. On Sunday, we want to seize the chance for a decisive win at home."

Hannibal Weitzmann (goalkeeper, Grizzlys Wolfsburg): "It was definitely a step forward for us compared to the first two games. We kept it close. But Munich is a great team. Of course I want to prevent one or two of the goals we conceded - and then we'll win here. We'll try to take the next step on Sunday. Because we haven't yet played to 100 percent of our potential."
