Munich, Germany - The Frankfurt Lions bounced back from Saturday's loss against Nuremberg with a dominant 4-1 win over archrival Mannheim Adler. In the only other game in the DEL on Tuesday, the Kölner Haie were handed their third consecutive loss by the Hamburg Freezers.

Jim Dowd and Brandon Reid each scored a goal and three assists as the Hamburg Freezers skated to their third win in a row, edging the Kölner Haie 4-3 (0-0, 3-2, 1-1) at home. After a scoreless first period, the hosts took the lead when Reid scored on a 5-on-3 power-play five minutes into the middle frame. Craig Johnson re-directed a shot from Dowd to double the lead to 2-0 two minutes later. The Haie refused to go down without a fight and tied the game halfway through the period on back-to-back tallies from Jeremy Adduono and Colin Beardsmore. Just two minutes after the equalizer, Hamburg reclaimed a 3-2 lead on a goal by Paul Manning. Dowd extended the lead to 4-2 40 seconds into the final period. Cologne pulled within a goal on Eduard Lewandowski's score 22 ticks later, but was unable to find the back of the net again.

Michael Hackert recorded a goal and two assists as the Frankfurt Lions recorded their sixth win in seven games, defeating the Mannheim Adler 4-1 (1-0, 2-0, 1-1) at home.
