Krefeld Pinguine edged Düsseldorfer EG 3-2 in overtime in a Club Friendly Games matchup, with the home side finding the decisive goal in the extra session after the teams could not be separated through regulation. The win was secured by a single overtime goal that capped a back-and-forth contest.
The scoring was even from the start, as both teams traded goals in the first period to leave it 1-1. A quiet second period produced no goals, and the stalemate continued into the third, where each side struck once more to make it 2-2. That set up overtime, where Krefeld Pinguine broke through to complete the 3-2 win.
The defining number was the overtime period itself: Krefeld Pinguine outscored Düsseldorfer EG 1-0 in the extra frame after three periods of dead-even hockey. With no individual goal details available from the box score, the takeaway is the home side's ability to close out a tight friendly when it mattered most.
