National League – Ambris series of defeats continues – Zug outclasses Davos

Despite an early lead, the Leventines lose for the seventh time in a row and have to allow the Berners to overtake them after the 1: 4 against SCB.

—

Actually, HC Ambri-Piotta could not have wished for a better start to the game against SC Bern. A mere one and a half minutes were played when Noele Trisconi launched Patrick Incir and the 26-year-old Tomi Karhunen defeated the Bernese goal. Well, after that the game lasts 58 minutes, and the Ticino team has not attracted attention in recent weeks for being in the lead for a particularly long time. Even on Saturday evening, the bliss only lasts for a short time: Tristan Scherwey manages to equalize in the fifth minute. On pass from Inti Pestoni, who will wear the Biancoblu jersey again next season.

The disciplinary difference

As a result, the home team’s game flow was repeatedly slowed down by penalties. In the end, there should be no less than 26 penalty minutes on the account of the Leventines, during which the Bernese did not have to accept a single penalty. This disciplinary difference should bring a decisive advantage for the SCB. Shortly after the restart in the second period, Calle Andersson met in the power play for the Bern leadership. Since Mario Kogler’s team was subsequently unable to match this efficiency in the majority game, the Ticino remained in the game for a long time and kept the chance of winning points. After Jesper Olofsson’s sixth goal of the season (53rd), this hope was gone.

Returning Cory Conacher sealed the seventh defeat in a row for the HCAP with his hit into the empty housing to 1: 4 and ensured that the SCB has now caught up with the Ticino in terms of points despite four fewer games and on the 10th Advance rank that still qualifies for participation in the pre-playoffs.

Zug’s broad squad

The favorites prevailed in the upper region of the table. Leader Zug outclassed HC Davos away with 7-2, with seven different players on the scoresheet for the Central Switzerland team. The ZSC Lions celebrated a 6-2 success at the Rapperswil-Jona Lakers. Raphael Prassl scored twice for Zurich. Friborg-Gottéron meanwhile won at EHC Biel thanks to a brilliant mid-third and four goals within 13 minutes of being 4-1 behind. Yannick Herren distinguished himself as a double goal scorer for the Freiburg team.

Meanwhile, Lausanne lost the ice for the fourth time in a row. As in the last two games, the Vaudois lost after extra time. In the derby against Servette, Noah Rod became the match winner after 1:20 minutes for the Geneva team, who should win 3: 2 after being 1: 2 behind in the first period.
