National League: Davos fires his soul’s frustration against Langnau

Davos shoots his frustration from his soul: ZSC wins top game in Lausanne

The ZSC Lions win the National League’s top fight in Lausanne 4-2 and are the new leaders. SCL Tigers are not going anywhere.

Lausanne – ZSC 2: 4

The ZSC Lions saved a 4-2 victory over time in an exciting final phase in the all-out fight in Lausanne and are now at the top of the National League.

The Oerlikon Lions are back where they left off last season before the playoffs were canceled: as leaders. It may have been Pius Suter’s parting gift before last year’s top scorer embarks on his NHL adventure with the Chicago Blackhawks. At three minutes into the middle third, the city of Zurich used a dream pass from Denis Hollenstein, who had been outstanding for weeks, to make the breakout 2-1.

The Vaudois, who could have advanced to the top with a win, could not immediately react to the deficit. Rather, it was Fredrik Pettersson who gave the Lions two goals shortly after the middle of the game. However, before they were the best team.

It took Marcus Krüger just 35 seconds to put the Zurich team in the lead for the first time. Lausanne tried to access the game, sometimes with a bit of hype. It was only in the last third that they really managed to pressure Ludovic Waeber’s goal. Brian Gibbons’s 2: 3 on the power play 2:04 minutes before the end was too late for the change.

The Lions should also face the departure of the temporary reinforcement Suter. While foreign players on loan from the NHL like Joe Thornton (Davos), Erik Brannström (SCL Tigers) or Ryan McLeod (Zug) have already left for North America and Gaëtan Haas was instructed not to compete anymore for Berna, Suter and Denis Malgin of Lausanne are still waiting. to the corresponding “withdrawal” from abroad.

Biel – Lugano 2: 3 nV.

20 days after his last serious fight, Lugano won 3-2 in Biel after extra time. Tim Heed made the decision after just seven seconds of overtime.

Lugano got off to a furious start after no more than 20 days without a serious fight. 33-year-old birthday boy Dario Bürgler reunited for the Ticino tour after just 63 seconds. Lugano also had the longest puff. Overtime had barely begun when Biels Pouliot lost the puck. Top scorer Mark Arcobello reacted faster and served independent Swedish defender Heed. Never had a goal been scored so fast in extra time in more than eight years.

In between, Austrian newcomer Konstantin Komarek with his first goal for Biel and last sick Toni Rajala had equaled Lugano’s early 2-0 lead in the 21st minute. That the Bianconeri still won at the end is not so surprising. For the seventeenth time, a team returned from the quarantine in this special season and remained victorious for the twelfth time.

Langnau – Davos 0: 5

SCL Tigers are not going anywhere. In the basement match, Langnauer lost at home to HC Davos 0: 5 and remained at the bottom of the table.

HC Davos can rely on his favorite opponent Langnau. In a match in which both teams threatened the red lantern, the Grisons made the decisive difference in the middle third. It would not be the usual highs, but Yannick Frehner (23rd) and Samuel Guerra (34th) with his third and the injured American Aaron Palushaj (36th) with his second goal of the season responsible for the 3-0 lead. He drew. The rest was just an encore.

After 0: 5 against Friborg-Gottéron on Tuesday, the SCL Tigers conceded an uncontrolled loss at home and without goals for the second time this week. Davos, on the other hand, celebrated their first away win since late November at Rapperswil-Jona, and the fifth successive success against Emmental.

Ambri – movement 2: 3 nV.

After more than 40 minutes, Ambri-Piotta lost to EV Zug 2: 3 after extra time. Sven Senteler met twice.

Ambri was only 31 seconds away from winning again after two losses. Then Sven Senteler tied Leventine’s lead 2-1. And only 46 seconds to go to at least the penalty shoot-out, when Senteler stole the second point from Ticino. The Zugers failed the jump to the top, but after losing points they are leaders.

Tobias Fohrler had made up for Central Switzerland’s first lead with outgoing captain Raphael Diaz in the power play and shortly before the end of the first period, Isacco Dotti Ambri even took the lead. A victory would have been a rarity. Ticino have only won one of the last seven Gotthard derbies.
