EHC Red Bull München: Reactions & Stats from Quarterfinal Game 2 vs Ingolstadt
Quotes
Oliver David (Coach, EHC Red Bull München): “Halfway through the game, I noted on my sheet that the special teams were playing a major role—especially our power-play units from our perspective. And that’s how it continued. The many interruptions and penalties worked in our favor. We scored two power-play goals right in the first period. In the second period, we weathered their pressure phase because we defended well in front of the net. In the third period, we played smart. The final goal came on another power play. That was the story of the game.”
Highlights: ERC Ingolstadt vs. EHC Red Bull München (27.03.2026)
// DEL - HIGHLIGHTS
Simon Wolf (Goaltender, EHC Red Bull München): “It was an important win. We’ve regained home-ice advantage. Over the past few days, we’ve watched a lot of video to correct our mistakes—and it paid off. We barely allowed any turnovers today, and I mostly had a clear view. That made it easier for me. We wanted to play 60 minutes of good hockey. We succeeded. “
Phillip Sinn (Defenseman, EHC Red Bull München): “We played a very solid game for 60 minutes. It was intense and very physical. This time, we imposed our style of play on them. In Game 1, we allowed too many counterattacks—that’s exactly where their strengths lie. This time, we had fewer turnovers. That was the difference. I expect another intense game on Sunday. I don’t think it will be that one-sided again.”
Mark French (Coach, ERC Ingolstadt): “Munich carried the momentum from the final stages of Game 1. We struggled in situations that we handled better in the first game. Their forecheck was strong, and they capitalized on their power plays. The start of a game remains crucial—especially on the road. That’s where we’ll focus our attention. We’re putting this game behind us. On Sunday, we want to bounce back.”
