Scoring funk continues, Berlin stumbles again - Melanson makes DEL debut

Berlin’s lead at the top of the standings has shrunk to three points after back-to-back overtime losses. The Eisbären could not snap their scoring funk. They only scored one goal in each of their last three games. Sunday, Berlin could not find a solution to Iserlohn Roosters netminder Michael Fountain. Despite outshooting their opponents 45-28, the Eisbären lost to the Roosters on the road, 2-1 (1-0, 0-1, 0-0, 1-0) after penalty shootout.

Iserlohn drew first blood 5:19 into the contest when Chris Bartolone blasted a point shot past Eisbären netminder Rich Parent on the man advantage. The Eisbären tied the score with a power-play goal of their own, when defenseman Rob Leask connected from the slot at 11:33 of the middle frame. After a scoreless third, Scott King converted the game-winning penalty shot for Iserlohn.

Roosters defender Dean Melanson, who was signed earlier this week, looked solid in his DEL debut.
