Tuesday, 01. October 2024 | Preview PENNY DEL: EHC Red Bull Munich vs. Grizzlys Wolfsburg in the SAP Garden

DEL premiere in the SAP Garden: Red Bulls host the Grizzlys WolfsburgLive on MagentaSport, Sportdeutschland.TV and on our blog// DEL - PREVIEWAfter last Friday's spectacular Grand Opening Game, our new home will host the first PENNY DEL points game. On Wednesday, the Red Bulls will look to continue their winning streak against the Grizzlys Wolfsburg, kick-off at 7:30pm.

Three games, nine points. After Sunday's convincing 6:2 derby win at the Straubing Tigers, EHC Red Bull Munich have completed their three-game away winning streak at the start of the season with a clean sheet.

"We addressed a lot of things from last year and were looking forward to the start. You could see that," said Yasin Ehliz. The attacker has already scored three goals, with his team-mates contributing a further 13. A top value! "Our chance conversion was still not perfect, but we scored the goals," said our number 42 after the morning training session on Tuesday.

Red Bulls want to "go full throttle"

The four-time German champions are now looking forward to their DEL premiere at the SAP Garden. "Now it's all about points, we want to go full throttle!", announced Ehliz. From a player's perspective on the ice, not much has changed compared to the past. "When you're on the ice, you don't really notice any difference. You're so focused. But as soon as the game is interrupted, you have a completely different view," says the 31-year-old. "It was a lot of fun on Friday."

Full focus is also needed against Wolfsburg to continue the current run of success. The chances of this are good, as our boys have had good experiences with the team from Lower Saxony recently. Both teams met once again in the playoffs last season, with Munich once again coming out on top. Coach Toni Söderholm's team advanced to the semi-finals with a smooth 4:0 sweep.

Wolfsburg strengthened in spots

The Grizzlies have collected six points from four games so far, with all points coming at home (4:0 against Düsseldorf, 4:3 against Iserlohn). Top scorer is striker Andy Miele with five points, including three goals. Phil Varone also got off to a strong start with two goals and four points. The Canadian, who moved to the Aller from Düsseldorf, is already finding his feet in his new surroundings. However, Nick Caamano, another offensive newcomer (Texas Stars, AHL), has yet to score.

Coach Mike Stewart was also pleased to welcome back another player. After two years and a championship title with the Eisbären Berlin, Julian Melchiori is now back defending for the Grizzlies. Overall, the squad has not undergone any major changes, but has been strengthened at certain points.

"Wolfsburg has another good team. But we have to focus on ourselves and make sure that the visiting team quickly realize that it will be extremely difficult in the SAP Garden. We want to make a statement right away," says Ehliz, outlining the Red Bulls' plan.

Fan march into the SAP Garden

On the initiative of "Der 7. Mann", a symbolic procession will take place tomorrow. The meeting point is at 4:30 p.m. on the forecourt of the Olympic Ice Stadium - every fan is welcome. Shortly afterwards, the "parade" through the Olympic Park to the SAP Garden will begin.
