DeSousa was injured late in the game but was able to finish it. In the ensuing shootout, the Canadian scored the decisive penalty shot to seal a 4-3 victory, thereby securing the extra point for Munich.
The 35-year-old has been under contract with EHC Red Bull München since the summer of 2022. With 101 goals and a total of 187 points, DeSousa has scored more goals than any other Munich player during that time since his move to the Bavarian capital.
Krening Still Injured – Daubner Back on the Team
In addition to DeSousa, head coach Oliver David will continue to be without Philipp Krening. The 22-year-old forward is sidelined with a lower-body injury and is not expected to be available to the team until after the Deutschland Cup break in mid-November.
Max Daubner, on the other hand, made his comeback for the four-time German champions in last Sunday’s away game against the Grizzlys Wolfsburg after a lengthy injury-related absence.
