Lausanne missed a great opportunity to return to the National League standings. At Malley, the Lions were beaten 1-0 by Kloten.
A bullet in the skate, that’s what the Lausanne residents pulled off once morest the Aviators. While they had everything to add three points in the bank and return closer to the top 6, Geoff Ward’s players left the ice with their butts between their legs.
The Zurichers scored the only goal of the game 52 seconds from the end of the third period. A risky defensive approach that benefited Schreiber. Annoying for Punnenovs who deserved better. The Lausanne residents drank the chalice to the dregs in the very last moments of the game. They indeed believed to equalize, but the puck pushed by Panik crossed the line whereas the clock showed 0:00 recently.
Lausanne is the team that has shot the most on the uprights this season. And the Vaudois decided to honor this statistic by catching the posts of Sandro Zurkirchen on several occasions. They made their former Cerberus a sort of Patrick Roy by highlighting him with a clumsiness tinged with bad luck. The Vaudois will now have to pick up three points on Friday at Porrentruy if they do not want to see the train leave without them for good.
In the second match of the evening, Lugano beat Langnau 5-2. Markus Granlund scored twice. And unusual, three goals were scored in numerical inferiority.
