Konrad Abeltshauser was also born in Bad Tölz. He played alongside Ehliz in the Tölzer Löwen’s youth program and later on the Red Bulls. In 2023, the two won the championship together. For Abeltshauser, it was his fourth championship with the Munich team. He thus belongs to the small group of players who were part of the Red Bulls’ roster for all four of their championships.
Abeltshauser made 571 DEL appearances during his time in Munich. Only Maximilian Kastner (590) has more in Red Bulls history. This summer, after eleven seasons with Munich, Abeltshauser moved to Frankfurt. Now the 34-year-old is returning to the SAP Garden as an opponent for the first time.
Facts and Figures
Last season, Munich won two games and Frankfurt won two. The last two matchups at the SAP Garden were particularly close: Frankfurt won a game that remained tight until the final minute, 3-1; on the third-to-last day of the regular season, our team returned the favor with a 3-2 overtime victory.
One key factor last season was the special teams: Our power-play units scored three goals in 16 opportunities (18.8 percent success rate), while our penalty-kill units allowed only one goal in 18 situations (94.4 percent success rate).
The head-to-head record in the DEL continues to speak for itself: Munich has won 13 of the 16 games since Frankfurt’s promotion. The record at home is even better, with seven wins in eight games.
