Forward of the Latvian national team Kaspars Daugavins on Friday marked a successful pass in the Swiss Hockey Premier League (NL) game, without saving the “Bern” team from the loss. Bernese hockey players lost to Biel-Bienne in the overtime with a score of 3: 4 (2: 0, 0: 1, 1: 2, 0: 1).
Daugaviņš scored with a productive pass in the sixth minute of the third period, when he helped Dominik Kahun to reach 3: 1. The Latvian hockey player spent 17 minutes and 46 seconds on the ice in this match, during which he threw once for the goal, won eight of 11 throws and ended the duel with a neutral efficiency.
Meanwhile Ivars Punnenovs returned after last week’s injury, while Langnava “Tigers” at home gave way to the Latvian Rapersville “Jona Lakers” team with 4: 5 (2: 1, 0: 1, 2: 3). Punnenov repulsed 35 of the 40 opponents’ throws, but the experienced Robert Maier, who is hired from the Davos unit to replace the injured goalkeeper, remained in reserve. Oskars Lapinskas and Rihards Melnalkšnis were not in the “Tigers” application this time.
The attacker also suffered a loss Ronald King and his representative, Lausanne, who recognized the superiority of Davos at home with 2: 5 (2: 2, 0: 1, 0: 2). In 15 minutes and 32 seconds, the king managed to make seven shots on the goal, block one throw and save a negative efficiency of -1.
The Geneva Servette also failed, losing Friborg-Gotteron 1: 3 (0: 1, 1: 2, 0: 0). Deniss Smirnovs threw once in nine minutes and 26 seconds and scored at a negative efficiency of -1, but Sandis Smons four minutes and 55 seconds in the statistical columns.
In the tournament table, all four teams represented by Latvians are located one after the other. Bern with seven points in seven games is ninth, followed by Servette with six points in seven battles, the Tigers with 11 with the same balance, and Lausanne with five points in six matches in the penultimate position.
Last season, in the final of the National League tournament, the Geneva Servette conceded to the Zug hockey players.
