As the
DEL 2 playoffs heat up, all eyes are on
Ravensburg Towerstars and
Dresdner Eislowen, slated to face off on April 17, 2025. These two teams, both teeming with determination, are set to clash in a match that promises to deliver high-stakes hockey action. With a long history of fierce competition, the intensity is palpable, each squad vying for glory in this crucial playoff round.
Roster Rundown
Ravensburg Towerstars are leaning heavily on their star center, Max Kolb. Having racked up 56 points this season, Kolb's presence is undeniable. His knack for threading passes through the tightest of defenses makes him a constant threat. Another key player is defenseman Aaron Reichel, who has been a rock on the blue line, logging 25 minutes per game and tallying 34 points. Winger Leo Krämer, with 22 goals to his name, brings an explosive offensive spark. But they’re missing the grit of forward Lucas Braun, sidelined with a wrist injury, and goalie Felix Huber, whose absence due to a concussion leaves a gap in their netminding department.
On the other side,
Dresdner Eislowen's forward Niklas Meyer is a standout performer, boasting 62 points this season. His agility and puck-handling skills often leave opponents scrambling. Defenseman Jonas Vogel is another pillar, known for his strategic play and 30 assists. Goalie Sven Richter, with a save percentage of .918, is a formidable last line of defense. However, the team is feeling the absence of forward Tim Lenz, out with a knee injury, and defenseman Kai Ludwig, nursing a shoulder strain.

Wrap-Up
Ravensburg's offensive prowess and recent winning streak contrast with Dresden's sturdy defense and goaltending. With Eislowen's Richter between the pipes, they’ve got a solid chance to withstand Towerstars' barrage. Yet, Ravensburg’s Kolb and Krämer, with their scoring touch, can exploit any defensive lapse. Eislowen's Meyer, though, is a game-changer, capable of turning the tide in his team’s favor. These teams, both with their strengths and vulnerabilities, are set for an electrifying encounter.

Ravensburg Towerstars might just edge out
Dresdner Eislowen. Their offensive depth, exemplified by consistent production from Kolb and Krämer, could be the tipping point.
