Munich, Germany - In midweek action in the DEL, the Frankfurt Lions continued their hot streak, recording their third straight win. Elsewhere, the Hamburg Freezers capitalized on great penalty killing.

Former NHLer Dominic Roussel got his first shutout of the season as Frankfurt blanked the Krefeld Pinguine 2-0 (1-0, 0-0, 1-0) at home Tuesday night. Paul Stanton’s powerplay goal got the Lions on the scoreboard midway through the opening period. Rob Busch capped the scoring 3:15 into the final session. Odd fact: Frankfurt has won three games in a row after sacking sports director Bernie Johnston last week.

Two shorthanded scores made the difference as the Hamburg Freezers prevailed over ERC Ingolstadt, 3-1 (1-0, 1-0, 1-1). Down by two(!) men, captain Andy Schneider put the home team ahead 1-0 late in the first period. After a second-period powerplay goal from defenseman Jeff Tory, Ted Drury came up with the second short-hander of the night, extending Hamburg’s lead to 3-0 midway through the final period. Ingolstadt’s Jean-Francois Jomphe denied Boris Rousson’s shutout bid with under six minutes to go.
