Kassel Huskies celebrate victory after catching up: Mieszkowski scores decisively!

The Kassel Huskies achieved a narrow 3-2 win in the home game against the Lausitzer Füchse, which was particularly important after the unfortunate defeat in Rosenheim. In a game that offered a lot of excitement, the Huskies had an early advantage. Todd Woodcroft, the team's coach, had stressed beforehand that they needed to play with concentration for 60 minutes, and that's exactly what the players did.

Already in the third minute, Maciej Rutkowski caused cheers among the fans with a goal, followed by Dominic Turgeon, who scored another net just two minutes later. But the Foxes couldn't just be shaken off: In the 17th minute, Kyle Havlena reduced the score to 2-1. An early goalkeeper change by the Huskies, with Oleg Shilin being replaced by Philipp Maurer, brought a breath of fresh air into the game.

The course of the game

In the second third, the Foxes equalized right from the start through Tim Sezemsky, which turned the game on its head. But Darren Mieszkowski showed strong nerves and secured the victory for the Huskies with his goal in the 43rd minute. After the game, Mieszkowski said the goal gave him a lot of confidence and praised the team's performance. “We played as a unit and implemented our system well,” said the player.

This victory is particularly significant after the last disappointing 2:3 defeat in Rosenheim, when the Huskies had to accept the equalizer shortly before the end. Coach Woodcroft is optimistic that this game could serve as a turning point. Further squad planning is now particularly important as several players have left the club.

Changes in the squad

The Huskies have had a total of seven departures: Seigo, Lowry, McMillan, Schwartz, Preto, Dotter and Geischeimer. The latter is moving to cooperation partner Hamm in the major league, but will be able to step in for the Huskies if necessary. In order to improve at the top of the league, the Huskies plan to fill the foreign positions. Hunter Garlent has already been signed as the new striker.

Rumors say that Brandon Cutler, who is being traded as a possible newcomer, could fill one of the next contingent positions. In addition, Lois Spitzner, whose contract was not extended, could seek a move to Crimmitschau after initial information also led to Bad Nauheim.

Uncertainty over the future of players such as Louis Brune, Marco Müller and Oleg Tschwanow continues, but there are positive signs for Brune while Müller's situation remains uncertain. Tschwanow, who impressed with Hamm in the playoffs, could continue to receive ice time there. It was also announced that Tim Schüle, whose contract in Augsburg was expiring, was being discussed in the Huskies' ranks and could be a valuable reinforcement in defense.

The win against the Füchse is not only a confirmation of the strong team performance, but also a positive signal for the challenges ahead in the current season. The Huskies are doing everything they can to stay in the fight for the top spots.
