Defeated on Tuesday at Ambri (5-4), Lausanne recorded a second defeat in a row. The Vaud Lions lost 3-1 in front of their home crowd once morest the ZSC Lions. Thanks to this success, the 5th in a row, the Zurich residents take the lead in the National League championship. The Vaudois remain, for their part, in third place.
Lausanne can really get bad. But the Vaudois can only blame themselves. Unable to convert their numerous opportunities (35 shots once morest 19 in the Z camp), Geoff Ward’s men were too clumsy. Often well placed, Malley’s Lions lacked precision during the last move.
However, the Vaudois would have deserved a better fate. First during the initial third. It must be said that Lawrence Pilut opened the scoring in the 9th, but this success was canceled due to the presence of Makai Holdener in the goalkeeper zone. The people of Lausanne asked for a coach’s challenge which confirmed the first decision and Geoff Ward’s men had to face a situation of numerical inferiority.

Derek Grant broke the deadlock in the 36th minute. Then Chris Baltisberger doubled the lead (39th). The Vaudois were lucky to be able to get back on track 37 seconds following the 0-2 thanks to Lawrence Pilut who made up for his blunder on Grant’s goal.
The third period once once more leaned towards the Zurich goal with more shots (14-5), but the Lausanne team sometimes seemed too messy. The Vaudois came up once morest Robin Zumbühl, excellent. The young goalkeeper saved or deflected 34 of 35 opposing shots.

Note that defender Lukas Frick played his 342nd consecutive match, allowing him to equal Philippe Marquis. At the top of the charts, we find Vaudois Michael Ngoy with 378 games in a row.
