Overview
- Wolfsburg’s Dustin Strahlmeier sealed a 4–2 win over the Dresdner Eislöwen by scoring in the final minute.
- With Dresden’s net empty after pulling their goalie, Strahlmeier stopped a shot and sent the puck the length of the ice into the goal.
- The goal was confirmed as the league’s first ever scored directly by a goalkeeper rather than credited due to an own goal.
- Head coach Mike Stewart said he was shocked, noting Strahlmeier had never attempted such a shot in training.
- Strahlmeier said he saw space and decided to try the shot, and he kept the puck as a memento after celebrating the victory.
