Gogulla growing while guiding

On Thursday, Philip Gogulla cashed his third goal of the playoffs on a breakaway wrister as Cologne advanced to DEL finals with a 3-2 victory over Frankfurt. The Dusseldorf native has been very active, using his speed and versatility to score a point in every semifinal game (2+4) while manning a point on the second power play unit. With nine points overall, the confident young winger is tied for second on the team in playoff scoring.

The #3 Sharks move into the finals to face #2 Berlin, with game one slated for Sunday afternoon.
