National League: EVZ returns to the top – Lugano wins the derby

Once again, the SCL Tigers smell spots. Again they come out empty-handed, collect the fifth consecutive bankruptcy and stay at the bottom of the table. And yet what the Emmental shows is impressive.

You travel without goalkeeper Ivars Punnenovs – the Swiss-licensed Latvian is slightly injured – and without injured defenders Yannick Blaser, Andrea Glauser and Sebastian Schilt, and you only play with two foreigners. And yet they lead 2-0 after 40 minutes. And he absolutely deserved it. The Tigers don’t allow anything on defense. And up front they simply have more dangerous opportunities.

Alexei Dostoinov, who was previously doubly redundant, scored the 1-0 with a wonderful dribble. Patrick Petrini’s 2-0 in the majority. It is already the second goal of the season for the 19-year-old from Ticino. “If kids want to learn something, you have to force them and not just use them on the fourth line,” says coach Rikard Franzén.

Bitter for the Tigers: In the final third, the EVZ turns the game around in 250 seconds. 21 seconds after the break, Raphael Díaz hits with a hammer from the blue line. Then Yannick Zehnder followed suit in the majority. And finally Sven Senteler caught Tigers goalkeeper Damian Stettler (the 19-year-old will be used for the first time from the start) between the legs. Langnau does not give up until the end, he tries without a goalkeeper. Vain. (ARKANSAS)

The best: Yannick Zehnder (EVZ): It not only creates danger, it also hits.

The plum: Pascal Berger (SCL Tigers): The captain outnumbered his team after a hook to Martschini. Train compensates.

The objectives: 14. Dostoinov (Leeger) 0: 1. 26. Petrini (Nilsson, Neukom / PP) 0: 2. 41. (40:21) Díaz (Simion, Kovar) 1: 2. 43. Zehnder (Martschini, Hofmann / PP ) 2: 2. 45. Senteler 3: 2. 60. (59:28) Simion (Kovar, Klingberg) 4: 2 (ins read Tor).

But enough is enough! That’s probably what the Lakers thought before Game 4 against HC Davos. Due to the image of the point provider, they have gotten rid of it. Really. For Bündner, though, the Lakers were exactly that: HCD scored nine of their previous 19 points against the Lakers with three scoring wins and that just doesn’t stay at the bottom of the table.

With one-sided balance in mind, the SCRJ is trying to get off to a more spirited start. After just three minutes, the doorbell next to Mayer rings for a shot from Clark. In any case, it is the HCD goalkeeper who is usually at the center of the action. Or lies. Ahead of Rowes 1-0, Mayer speculates that the SCRJ captain will position himself behind his case. Thanks to this hesitation, Rowe is a quicker time for the successful Buebetrickli. Before Vukovics 2-0, Mayer lost his balance as he moved and fell as the puck entered the net alongside him.

The Lakers manage their lead wisely with a good balance between sustained pressure on offense and solid defense. Until, yeah, until two mistakes lead to the Davos equalizer in 45 seconds. Before Palushaj’s goal, a Lhotak pass from Moses’ shin guards hits the scorer. Before the tie, Wick loses the puck to Turunen, who sends Marc Wieser on his way. He is in for the second time this season and after 14 (!) Goalless games.

The sudden uncertainty seems to carry over to Lakers-Keeper Bader any time soon. Frehner’s shot for the first lead slips under his glove. The Lakers have not lost their resolve. However, with a lighter mind, Davos players play better and are more dangerous. So the Eggenberger 3: 3 comes a little counter to course. A few minutes later another blow missed, let him take revenge. Jung’s shot is indelibly deflected by Clark’s stick shovel to make a decision. So the HCD gets points ten, eleven and twelve against the Lakers. (NEVADA)

The best: Fabrice Herzog (Davos). I have a lot of Ice Age and I appreciate it with consistent performance.

The plum: Lukas Lhotak (Lakers). Too reckless when in possession of the disk, the result is errors.

The objectives: 4. Rowe (Lehmann / PP) 1-0. 6. Vukovic (Dufner) 2-0. 24. Palushaj 2: 1. 24. M. Wieser (Turunen) 2: 2. 31. Frehner (Lindgren) 2: 3. 48. Eggenberger (Rowe) 3: 3. 57. Jung (Herzog, Ambühl) 3: 4 60. Corvi (Ambühl / towards the empty door) 3: 5.

The third derby of the season is also for the bianconeri. But Ambri scores a point against the opponent for the first time. After a good start, Cereda’s team is in shock when Wolf takes the lead after an energy blast from Bertaggia.

Only a jog penalty shortly before the first break returns guests to the game. Back on the ice, they tied with a shot from Flynn, which was deflected by the stick of Lugano defender Heed. Ambri’s second goal falls after Fazzini regains the lead with one of his dreaded shots on the power play, without imagination and without humor: Fohrler throws the puck in front of goal, where Zwerger reacts faster.

In the final third, teams neutralize each other with solid defensive work and little willingness to take risks. As soon as extra time has started, the decision is made when Swede Heed sneaks in front of goal and scores. (Mr)

The best: Alessio Bertaggia (Lugano). One step faster than the others. Prepare the first two goals for Lugano.

The plum: Tim Traber (Lugano). The awkward forward’s penalty just before the first break puts Ambri on the line.
