Beaten on Thursday 4-0 by Finland, the Swiss team was unable to correct the situation on Saturday. By losing 4-3 to Sweden, the Nati suffered its second setback at the Karjala Cup, first stage of the Euro Hockey Tour. The Swiss, however, were able to raise their heads following a very complicated start to the match. They occupy the fourth and last place in the ranking, before facing the Czech Republic on Sunday (12 p.m.).
In Tampere, the Swiss waited until they were down 3-0 to start playing. Dominated during the first period, Patrick Fischer’s men logically gave in numerically inferiority. Marcus Sylvegard put Simon Le Coultre in the wind before delivering a caviar to Mario Kempe for the opener (18th). 65 seconds later, Sandro Aeschlimann, starting in the Swiss cage, missed his restart, having the puck stolen by Oskar Eklind. The Scandinavian No. 34 then served Max Friberg for the 2-0 56 seconds from the first siren (20th).
Psychological shock
The Davos goalkeeper, also not completely blank on the 3rd Swedish goal scored by ZSC Lions striker Jesper Fröden (24th), was then replaced by Joren van Pottelberghe in the 24th. Did the psychological shock bear fruit? Did “Tre Kronor” start skating on one skate? Still, Fischer’s troop reacted. And scored his first goal of this new season following 98 minutes of offensive silence.
Christoph Bertschy sounded the revolt with a double opportunity, including a breakaway well repelled by Carl Lindbom. Then Andres Ambühl’s deflection on a puck from Sven Senteler gave the Nordics a cold sweat, but the 20-year-old goalkeeper had the last word. Loaned by the Las Vegas Golden Knights to Färjestad, he was however surprised by a sudden wrist throw from Calvin Thürkauf (38th).
In the third third, Switzerland took advantage of the opponent’s indiscipline to score twice. First at 5 once morest 3, thanks to a missile from Sven Andrighetto (3-2, 47th). Then with one more man on ice, Tanner Richard making the “Tre Kronor” doubtful until the third siren (4-3, 55th). Unfortunately for the Swiss hockey players, Oscar Lindberg, the former CP Berne player, was able to score the winning goal in the meantime (4-2, 50th). Switzerland has not beaten Sweden since April 7, 2016. But this end of the match will give it something to build on for the future. However, to be confirmed on Sunday once morest the Czech Republic.
