Eisbären Regensburg won 5-2 in Weiden, settled in regulation and effectively settled in the first period. Three goals in the opening twenty gave them a cushion they never had to defend under real duress.
Weiden got on the board in the first but trailed 1-3 after one. The second period was traded evenly, 1-1, leaving it 2-4 heading to the third, and Regensburg closed it out with the only goal of the final period for 2-5.
The telling number is the period split: Regensburg scored in all three frames, Weiden in two and were shut out after the second intermission. Four of the visitors' five goals came before the second intermission, which is where this game was decided.
