Third defeat in a row for HC La Chaux-de-Fonds. Louis Matte’s men lost 4-3 following penalties once morest the GCK Lions on Friday evening in the Swiss Ice Hockey League.
Nothing is happening these days… However, the Bees still dominated their opponent in the number of shots (40-24). Even the separation of the three inseparable ones, the executioners of the Swiss League defenses last season, Sondre Olden, Toms Andersons and Oliver Achermann, did not cause the hoped-for offensive spark. “The opportunities are there. As we cannot make them a reality, it starts to work a little in the head, but in the locker room, we remain positive,” declares Friborg HCC striker Julien Privet.
The locals got into the game well by opening the score. They might have doubled the lead, but a gag goal from Kärki revived the Zurich residents. A success in which HCC goalkeeper Hugo Cerviño did not shine. He was also replaced following the first half.
Chaux-de-Fonniers then chased the score and Sondre Olden was only able to equalize 4’40” from the end of regulation time with an unstoppable shot.
The Swiss League champion is having a lot of trouble getting rid of his opponents: 8 of the last 13 HCC matches ended following regulation time. And Chaux-de-Fonniers have lost 5. This season, when the meeting ends with the smallest of margins, the HCC loses 2 times out of 3.
Next match for the HCC: Sunday once morest the red lantern, the Bellinzona Rockets, at 4:45 p.m. in Ticino. A match to follow live on RTN. /fph-vco
