VfL's advantage increased to seven goals. Despite 15 saves made by goalie Kevin Möller, Flensburg was unable to resurrect the game.
After the game, the SG's backcourt players Teitur Einarsson (going to Gummersbach next season) and Boris Zivkovic (unknown destination) were given a fond farewell. In their last matchday, the SG will face Bergisches HC on Sunday (3:30 p.m./Dyn).
