Kolner vs Krefeld Pinguine

Press's goal late in the first period was the killer blow. Krefeld had survived the opening Bokk strike and were beginning to settle, but Press's finish — set up by Müller and Kammerer — gave Kölner a two-goal cushion at the first break. The Pinguine never recovered the momentum, managing only sporadic offensive zone time across the second period.

Dominik Bokk — Man of the Match. The forward scored in the first and third periods (10:54, 58:09), the latter on a 5-on-3 power play, and led the offensive charge with two goals from four shots on target.

Robin Press — One goal and one assist. The Swedish defenceman scored the crucial 2-0 goal and set up Bokk's second, finishing +2 with steady work in his own zone.

Frederik Storm — Scored Kölner's third to effectively kill any Krefeld comeback hopes early in the final period.

Kölner defence + goaltending — Held Krefeld scoreless despite the Pinguine arriving with momentum from their 6-2 demolition of Vålerenga 24 hours earlier. The netminder (not confirmed in available lineups) made key saves during the second period when Krefeld pressed hardest.

The 4-0 scoreline tells a story of defensive solidity as much as offensive efficiency. Kölner scored twice in the first period and twice in the third, with a scoreless middle frame where Krefeld generated their best spell. The Haie were disciplined overall — only three minor penalties (interference, too many men, hooking) — while Krefeld took three minors (tripping, slashing, delay of game). Bokk's power-play goal in the 59th minute reflected Kölner's ability to capitalise when given the man advantage.

Krefeld, who scored six goals against Vålerenga on Friday, were held completely off the scoresheet — a telling defensive improvement from the Haie after they surrendered a 3-0 lead against Landshut the night before.

Kölner Haie finish the Vierer-Turnier with one win and one shootout loss in regulation, gaining useful ice time ahead of their Champions League Hockey opener at Salzburg on 3 September and a trip to Tappara Tampere on 5 September.

For Krefeld Pinguine, the tournament ends with a split: a 6-2 win over Vålerenga and a 4-0 loss to Kölner. The DEL2 side continues pre-season preparations before their 2026-27 league campaign begins.

A professional, controlled performance from Kölner, who learned from Friday's blown lead and tightened up defensively. Bokk and Press provided the quality touches; the clean sheet was the most encouraging sign against a Krefeld side that had looked dangerous 24 hours earlier. Pre-season form should be taken with context, but the Haie will travel to Salzburg with more confidence than they had on Friday night.
