League Context and Upcoming Fixtures
With three games played in the 2026/2027 DEL2 regular season, Rosenheim finds itself searching for its first points of the campaign. The team avoided the absolute bottom of the league table only because the Dresdner Eislöwen suffered a surprising loss against the Eispiraten Crimmitschau, keeping Dresden in last place. Looking ahead to the next fixture on Sunday, September 27, 2026, the Starbulls will host the Bietigheim Steelers at the Mangfall starting at 17:00. Bietigheim arrives in strong offensive form following a 7-3 victory over the Blue Devils Weiden.
