The latest ranked winners, ZSC Lions, top the ice hockey table for the first time this season. The ZSC Lions defeated Bern 3-0 and benefited from Zug’s first loss.

The Hallenstadion setting was just right. 7600 spectators celebrated the 90th anniversary of the Zurich ice skating club as ZSC defeated SC Bern 3-0 in retro jerseys. The Lions took the lead after 138 seconds through Raphael Prassl and finally won thanks to another brilliant goalkeeper performance from Ludovic Waeber (37 saves). Waeber (wins 4-0) is about to overtake Lukas Flüeler (2 losses in 2 games) in Zurich.

After Lugano and Zug, the ZSC Lions are now the third team at the top of the table as EV Zug lost 3-0 to Lausanne for the first time. After two weeks of the championship, each team has lost at least once.

Due to the current coronavirus quarantine of the Freiburg-Gottéron and Lugano clubs, only four instead of six were on the program. And only a few goals fell in these games, most of them in the basement match between the SCL Tigers and Ambri-Piotta (3: 2 nV). At Langnau, the Emmentaler drew 2-2 through Robbie Earl just 64 seconds before the end without a goalkeeper. Erik Brännström even claimed Langnau’s first win of the season eleven seconds before the penalty shoot-out.
