Solid, Lausanne offers the defending champion

Geneva-Servette erased the poor image left on Friday in Ajoie. The Genevans beat Zug 4-0. A Zug backhand that deals with Freiburg Gottéron fell to Lugano (5-2) in the National League.

Admittedly, the Zugois had come without their two titular goalkeepers Leonardo Genoni (repaired) and Luca Hollenstein (injured). The cage had been entrusted to Robin Meyer, the usual last bastion of the Zug Academy. For his second game in the National League, he had a very difficult evening. It was Sami Vatanen who paved the way for this twelfth consecutive success for the Genevans at Les Vernets on a double numerical superiority (18th). The second period was fatal to Jan Kovar’s teammates with successes from Eliot Berthon – his first of the season -, the opportunist Tanner Richard and Josh Jooris. A very good Gauthier Descloux in the cage allowed the Genevans to always remain involved in the race for sixth place.

The Fribourgeois have retained their leading position despite this large defeat. They were helped by Genève-Servette. Because the men of Christian Dubé have failed the Resega. Deprived of Reto Berra, suspended, the team seemed shaky. Connor Hughes did not particularly shine – he was replaced in the 22nd minute by Loïc Galley, but he was not always well surrounded. Opposite, it is true that the Romans fell on an opponent who wanted to erase the deluge of goals received Thursday in Lausanne (4-8). Yannick Herren was happy to open the scoring once morest his former teammates (14th). Then the Daniel Carr festival started with two goals and an assist. The two successes of Mottet and Rossi during the third period did not change the course of the game.

Biel lost sharply to Rapperswil-Jona (1-3). The Seelanders now find themselves back in the race for sixth place following their two setbacks over the weekend. They will have a major meeting on Tuesday with the arrival of Davos, their neighbor in the standings. At the edge of Lake Zurich, the Bernese, who aligned their new Russian goalkeeper Dmitry Shikin, suffered a double from Roman Cervenka on a good evening.

The day following his great victory once morest Genève-Servette, Ajoie never really had a say in the heights of Davos (0-3). Deprived of their favorite goalkeeper, Tim Wolf, affected, the Jurassians did what they might to defend the cage guarded by Nicola Aeberhard. They yielded in the first period on a success by Sven Jung and in the second period in double numerical inferiority on a goal by Enzo Corvi.

A hat-trick from Sven Andrighetto – the second of his career – allowed the Zurich Lions to win 4-1 on the ice of the Langnau Tigers. For its part, Ambri-Piotta beat Bern 3-2 on penalties and retains a minimal hope of participating in the pre-play-off at the expense of their opponent of the day.
