Ambri – SCRJ Lakers 2: 4
The Rapperswil-Jona Lakers came to a possibly decisive victory in the fight for qualification for the knockout stages of the playoffs. St. Gallen defeated Ambri-Piotta 4-2 on the road and are now six points ahead of the 11th-ranked Leventines.
The winner of the invited match was Kevin Clark, who scored 3-2 in the 51st minute and made it all clear with a shot to the empty box 34 seconds before the end. It was the 22nd and 23rd goals of the season for Canadian Clark is by far the Lakers’ top scorer, but he will not get a new contract.
The first two goals from 0: 1 (13th) to 2: 1 (34th) were scored by the Lakers in a power game. First, Roman Cervenka (28th), who beat Ambri for the fifth time this season, hit with a precise shot, then Nico Dünner distracted unsustainably. Rapperswil’s victory was good, they were the most active team. Overall, the North Ticino are the Lakers this season, they celebrated their fifth victory in the sixth direct game of the current championship. Meanwhile, Ambri suffered his eighth loss in his last nine games.

ZSC lions – movement 2: 6
EV Zug has already been confirmed as the winner of the classification, but given the strength of the Swiss center on the foreign ice this season, the question arises whether this is really an advantage. EVZ celebrated their 21st success with 6: 2 at the ZSC Lions in their 25th road game, the ninth in a row.
The Zugers led the game from the start, after 16 minutes they were 4-0. The last two goals were scored by Carl Klingberg, who also scored 5-2 in the 35th minute. Jan Kovar did the preparatory work for the Swede’s three goals, and the Czech also had an assist in Sven Senteler’s 6-2 (52nd ) and Klingberg. Klingberg scored three goals in a game for the second time in the National League.
Among the guests, who triumphed four times in the power play, goalkeeper Robin Meyer made his debut in the top division. The 20-year-old showed a solid performance and was only beaten twice by Sven Andrighetto, who scored his 26th and 27th goals of the season. The ZSC conceded the eighth defeat in the last nine home games.

SCL Tigers – Bern 4: 5
By Tuesday, Bern had already led the SCL Tigers 3-0 after eight minutes en route to a 4-1 victory. This time the Bernese showed much more effort, they were 2: 3 behind until shortly before the end of the second period. Ramon Untersander tied before the second break and a double by Inti Pestoni and Jesper Olofsson paved the way for SCB to win 5-4 and win the second derby this week. Like Tuesday, Tristan Scherwey met twice.
While Langnau lost for the eighth time in a row and for the 22nd time in the last 24 games, Bern won against the bottom of the table in the battle for a place in the knockout stages of the playoffs. Coach Mario Kogler’s team has now scored four goals in a row. The 2019 champions had never managed to do that this season.

Servette – Freiburg 2: 3
The sixth, Genève-Servette, fell at the worst possible moment. Geneva suffered their fourth consecutive loss at home with a 3-2 draw against Friborg-Gottéron and lost for the fifth time in their last six matches.
After 40 minutes, the shot ratio was 23: 9 in Servette’s favor, but the guests were 3: 1 ahead. Geneva goalkeeper Gauthier Descloux did not cut the best in Jordann Bougro’s 0: 1 (3rd), Davis Desharnais’s 0: 2 (22nd) was preceded by a loss from Mathieu Vouillamoz’s puck. In the last third, Geneva’s dominance was even more flagrant with 15-2 shots on goal, but only Linus Omark was able to defeat the strong Freiburg goalkeeper Reto Berra on the power play (51st).
With their second win in 24 hours, Friborg took a big step towards qualifying for the quarterfinals. It was only Gottéron’s second success in the sixth season match against Geneva.
