In the duel between the first two in the ranking, Angers won against leader Rouen (4-3), Sunday during the 36th day of the Magnus League. In a packed rink on Île Lacroix (3,279 spectators), Loïc Lampérier brought the Dragons to within one goal at the end of the game (53’05), giving them hope of obtaining the equalizer and therefore overtime, but the Dukes managed to preserve their lead and come back to six points behind their opponents, with a game in hand.
Grenoble, third, also won away, but in overtime (4-3 ap), in Amiens. In the last seconds of regulation time, Nicolas Deschamps obtained the equalizer (59’33”), while Grenoble goalkeeper Raphaël Garnier was out. And, in overtime, Roman Lyubimov scored the golden goal.
Gap still in an impasse
In the other matches, Bordeaux won at Cergy-Pontoise (3-1), the Boxers breaking away in the last third thanks to numerical superiority goals from Nikita Jevpalovs (42’30”) and Maxime Legault ( 59’42”).
In front of its audience (5,504 spectators, sold out), Marseille beat Gap (3-2). For the first time on Sébastien Oprandi’s bench, the Raptors brought out their goalkeeper to try to equalize, in vain. They remain in penultimate place in the Championship.
For the eighth and final qualifying place for the play-offs, Chamonix and Nice are in the fight and find themselves tied on points, but the Pioneers have one match less than the Eagles. The Haut-Savoyards brought home a point from Anglet by only losing in overtime against Hormadi (3-2 ap). The Niçois dominated Briançon at home (6-3).
