Davos – Lakers 9: 2
In the first home game on the newly renovated Davos ice rink, the hosts left no doubt about the winner from the start. Davos finally secured the first points in the third game of the season. Joe Thornton, who played in a storm line with top scorer Aaron Palushaj and Luca Hischier on his return in a blue and yellow jersey, couldn’t rank among the scorers, but at least scored an assist when Benjamin Baumgartner scored it 1-0. .

The 41-year-old Canadian’s presence seemed to give the teammates a boost. In the middle of the game it was 5-0 for the hosts thanks to two goals from captain Andres Ambühl. After the Lakers briefly recovered, Davos took another step: Perttu Lindgren, Enzo Corvi, again Ambühl and 18-year-old super talent Simon Knak completed the successful evening from Graubünden’s perspective with a 9-2 record.
Irony of the story: Back in the 2012/2013 lockout season there was a 9-2 win against Rapperswil in Thornton’s first game for Davos.
Biel – ZSC Leones 1: 5
After a 3-0 win against Bern on Friday, the ZSC Lions doubled down against Biel. With 5: 1 in Biel, ZSC Fabio Hofer goalkeeper Ludovic Waeber missed the second shutout in a row with the consolation goal in the 59th minute. The Zurich team won for the fourth time in a row and this is the case at the top of the National League table.
The first two hits came in the power game, so far with a 10 percent success rate, not necessarily the Lions’ best discipline. Axel Simic scored two minutes before the end of the first period, Chris Baltisberger’s double with his third goal of the season later (30th). Justin Sigrist (46th), Dominik Diem (53rd) and Marcus Krüger (57th), 21, celebrated their goal debut this season.
Ambri – movement 1: 2 nP
With a shooting stat of 24:34 from Ambri’s point of view, the game against Zug went into overtime. The Leventines had won Julius Nättinen’s 1: 1 draw with an increase in performance in the final third. At first, Zug was the best team and consequently took the lead with Yannick Zehnder’s power play goal before the first siren. In overtime, Zug missed first-class chances at the extra point due to Gregory Hofmann and Sven Senteler. Senteler, Jan Kovar and Carl Klingberg made up for the mistakes with their goals on penalties.
