Bern celebrated its first success with its new coach Toni Soderholm. Geneva paid the price, losing 3-1. The leader conceded his second defeat of the season at home.
Special evening at Les Vernets where Geneva retired the jersey of its iconic captain, Goran Bezina. On the ice, it was his former teammate Romain Loeffel who brought down the atmosphere of a master shot on the blue line (26th). The 2-0 is the work of Oscar Lindberg 6 minutes later.
Led 3-0 following 45 minutes following a goal by Colin Gerber, the Eagles, leaders of the championship, tried to rekindle the wick of hope through Vincent Praplan (54th). Without success.
Biel recovers
Still without captain Gaëtan Haas, injured, Biel ended its series of 4 consecutive defeats by beating Ambri 2-0 in Ticino. With goalkeepers of the caliber of Harri Säteri and Janne Juvonen, it is difficult for the fine triggers of the 2 teams to shine.
In these conditions, it was Jesper Olofsson who was the first to shake the net with an overpowered shot shortly following the half hour mark. Ambri then pushed to come back but was punished by Damien Brunner who made it 2-0 in the 51st minute.
