Zug hits SCB, Servette convinces in Lugano, and SCL Tigers win!
EV Zug has extended his lead over first rival ZSC Lions to 15 points. Central Switzerland faced SC Bern 7: 1. Servette also celebrated a great victory in Lugano, and the SCL Tigers returned to victory after nine losses in a row.
EV Zug – SC Bern 7: 1
After ailing SC Bern won three games in a row for the first time in the current championship, sovereign leader Zug showed him the limits. Central Switzerland celebrated their sixth consecutive victory with a 7-1 win.
Dario Simion with a durable shot (7th) and Sven Senteler on the power play (8th) gave Zug with two hits in 52 seconds a 2-0 lead. While Berns weren’t necessarily the worst team in the first third, the hosts dominated the beginning of the center section almost at will. Little did the SCB know what was happening to him. The result was mistakes that the EVZ took advantage of. Improving and faster Lino Martschini (29th) and Nick Shore (30th) increased to 4: 0 with another double hit (51 seconds).

The Zugers went down a gear later, but after Dustin Jeffrey (32nd) lost 4-1, Santeri Alatalo restored the four-goal lead after exactly 38 minutes. That was the end of the game. Alatalo was also responsible for the final point with a score of 7: 1 (53rd).
In the first two home games of this season against SCB, which ended 2: 1 and 1: 2 after extra time, EVZ only scored three goals. This time the offense worked like a well-oiled machine. The two teams will meet again in Bern on Friday.

HC Lugano – Servette 2: 6
Like five weeks ago in the 5-1 loss to Zug, Lugano also fell 4-0 in the first half of the home game to Genève-Servette. Back then, it took almost 18 minutes to concede four goals, but Servette only needed 6:52 minutes for all four goals.
In the last ten seasons in the National League, it only took one less time to reach 4-0, that is, five and a half minutes on January 17, 2020 in Davos’ 7-2 home win against Friborg-Gottéron .

Marco Miranda (2nd) and Deniss Smirnovs (3rd) scored the first two goals in Geneva in 33 seconds. Following Noah Rod’s 3-0 victory (6th), Lugano goalkeeper Niklas Schlegel had to vacate Sandro Zurkirchen’s job. But even this did not remain undefeated for long. Four of Guinevere’s first five shots hit the goal. The guest won for the first time in the duel of the fourth season between these two teams.
