The two teams already knew where they were finishing in Group D and were playing for pride, and ERC Ingolstadt are proud that they won 3-1, even though it was their last game of this year's competition. The game really came down to a five-minute span late in the second period, when Ingolstadt scored all of their goals.
Hekki Liedes opened the scoring for Lukko just over five minutes in, skating down the right wing and beating Timo Pielmeier with a wrister inside the far post. But that was the only shot to beat Pielmeier in the game, as he made 24 saves.
Halfway through the second period the score was still 1-0 Lukko, when Ingolstadt turned it all around. First Brandon Buck came out from behind the net and backhanded the puck into the net in the 33rd minute, then just over two minutes later they took the lead on the power play when Buck's shot deflected in off Daryl Boyce, who was stationed in front. Petr Pohl got the third goal late in the period.
"They showed that they wanted to get the win," said Lukko head coach Juha Vuori, in reference to Ingolstadt. "The second period was … I’m definitely not happy. I’m disappointed about the second period and we lost the game there. It’s the path of learning that we've got to get through."
In the third period Lukko weren't able to get much going, and the game ended 3-1.
"It was the small things made the difference to get the momentum but I’m pretty happy," was all Ingolstadt coach Tommy Samuelsson had to say about his team's performance.
