Ajoie failed to follow up. On the National League podium before this meeting, the Ajoulots lost in extra time (5-4) once morest Ambri who were ahead of them in the standings.
The Jurassians had a complicated start with Leventins well on their feet and scoring 3 goals following less than 15 minutes. Except that the Ajoulots have not abdicated. They raised their heads to get back into the game, notably scoring two power-play goals.
Better, the character of the Jurassians allowed them to equalize at 4-4 and afford a point and an extension. On the other hand, the troupe of Filip Pesan had to admit defeat in extra time (5-4). It doesn’t matter, this meeting can allow the Jura residents to build for the future.
Very solid Zug, Omark delights
Very probably upset to have been subdued by Geneva at home, the champion wanted to show Friborg that it was only an accident. The players from Central Switzerland were opportunistic and largely won with the score of 5-2.
Facing Lugano at Les Vernets, Linus Omark played the magicians by scoring a double, just like Vincent Praplan. The Garnets were able to score and offer a solid box-play during the two penalties suffered during the last third to also win 5-2.
