Friborg put things right in the first match of the play-off quarter-finals. In their den, the Dragons dominated Lugano 6-2.

Favorite of this game, Gottéron did not fail. The foreign leaders did the job, the defense was solid and Reto Berra held the house. This inaugural match of the series started in the best possible way for Christian Dubé’s players. In the 15th minute, it was the young and promising defender Maximilian Streule who opened the scoring with a very nice throw. The end of the third was very lively with Fazzini’s equalizer in the 20th and Wallmark’s 2-1 19 seconds later.

This success relieved the people of Fribourg. They were thus able to attack the middle period in the position of the hunted. And in the 28th minute, the season’s top scorer Marcus Sörensen found the fault for 3-1. And five minutes later, Sörensen found his friend Wallmark in a power play for the 4-1. At that moment, goalkeeper Koskinen and his teammates understood that they were not going to win. Sörensen also scored twice and Walser finished in the empty cage.

Malgin crucifies Biel

The match in Zurich was very exciting. The Lions had to work hard to get the better of Biel 4-3.

The Zealanders didn’t miss much to create a surprise and secure their qualification for the play-offs following two series of play-ins. But in the end, the brilliance of Denis Malgin got the Zurich people out of the mash.

In order to be able to field six foreigners in the game, Martin Steinegger decided to start Joren van Pottelberghe in net and reinstate Jesper Olofsson. The future Lugano goalkeeper was not unworthy, but he did not have the impact of Harri Säteri.

The game saw Zurich open the scoring with a power play by Grant (10th). Then the middle third allowed the Zealanders to equalize twice through Heponiemi and Rajala.

Better still, the Biennois surprised the first of the regular season in the 44th thanks to Luca Cunti. Annoyed, the Lions equalized 75 seconds later through Denis Malgin. The top scorer gave his team the victory by making it 4-3 in the 48th minute.
