Müller stopped 23 shuts for his sixth shutout of the season and Marc Beaucage scored the only goal of the night on a second-period power-play as the Krefeld Pinguine blanked the DEG Metro Stars 1-0 (0-0, 1-0, 0-0) at Krefeld’s Rheinlandhalle.
To stay in shape for the upcoming World Championships, Müller will be loaned to EHC Basel of the Swiss Elite League for the remainder of the season.
