Herne.
After the 3: 6 in the ice hockey league in Herford, the Herner EV responded to the setback with a 3: 1 over the Krefeld EV 81.

Not only the view of the guest team’s statement sheet offered some special features on this evening.
In addition to Philipp Kuhnekath, Julius Bauermeister, Tom Schmitz and Tobias Esch were not only four former Herner on the ice for Krefeld, but in addition to Kuhnekath, Alexander Bank was another player from the DEL Penguins squad for this Sunday evening.
Herner EV: Richie Mueller in the first storm
On the ice, the guests also showed that they have outgrown the talent shed category this season. Because in the game five against five, the Krefeld team offered the Hernern hockey at eye level – well trained and extremely strong.
At Herner EV, coach Danny Albrecht had to change, so Richie Mueller moved into the first storm for the suspended Denis Fominych.
At first there are no clear options
In the first third, Krefeld had more shots, a total of six minutes in the majority game, but there were no clear opportunities on either side.
In the third, which counts on the ice, both came twice dangerously in the second section, also here with an initially even balance. Patrick Asselins hit the post Krefeld countered with a shot to the crossbar.
Mutually neutralized
For a long time afterwards both teams closed the defensive spaces, took little risk and tactically neutralized each other as disciplined as the coaches want to see it.

But the gap should still open up for the Herner EV, because in the final minutes of the second third the hosts played again in the majority. And there Colton Kehler was spot on in the “slot” and Asselin’s pass from the zone behind the gate was able to safely score 1-0 for the green-white-reds (38th).
Again Colton Kehler increased to 2-0
The scheme worked once and should be again.
In the 48th minute it was Nico Kolb, who put back from the zone behind the gate, and he too found Colton Kehler for his second goal.
The guests countered, four minutes before the end with the 1: 2 from their point of view – but the Herner showed again what coaches are also only too happy to see. Patrick Asselin started a strong individual performance and converted to 3-1 two minutes before the end. And the HEV had given the answer to 3: 6 in Herford.
HEV coach Danny Albrecht found the words for this after the game: “Against a strong Krefeld team, the power play made the difference today.”
Third: 0-0, 1-0, 2-1.
Goals: 1: 0 (37:39, 5-4) Kehler (Asselin / Mueller), 2: 0 (47:22) Kehler (Kolb / T. Ziolkowski), 2: 1 (55:52, 5-4) , 3: 1 (57:13, 5-4) Asselin.
Time penalties: Herne 8 – Krefeld 10.
