It’s an event! It was not until the 42nd day of National League to see the LHC win a French derby! Victory of the Vaudois 3 to 0 Thursday evening against Genève-Servette.
Finally ! The fifth Lake Geneva derby of the season has finally turned to the advantage of Lausanne HC. On the 42nd day of the National League, the Vaudois dominated Genève-Servette 3-0 on Thursday evening in a packed Les Vernets ice rink.
While up to now Lausanne has largely dominated these derby before cracking, this time the opposite has happened. The LHC was opportunistic and a bit lucky. A statistic perfectly sums up this encounter: that of the shots. While Geneva have fired 38 times towards Tobias Stephan’s goals, including 4 on poles, the LHC has only made eleven shots. Worse, the Vaudois have concretized their first two “real” actions.
The Ville Peltonen squad then held firm under the Geneva assaults, before sealing the outcome of this meeting by scoring the 3-0 in the empty cage. The scorers for the evening are Jeffrey (9th), Leone (16th) and Almond (58th, in the empty cage).
Lausanne therefore wins its first derby against a French team this season and has 3 welcome points.
