Match winner of the Swiss in the 14th win in a row against the Latvians was Tyler Moy, who scored 1: 1 (22nd) and 4: 3 (53rd) on the power play and the preparatory work to 3: 3 by defender Tobias Geisser (47th minute). .) performed. The Rapperswil-Jona Lakers striker now has three goals in preparation for the World Cup. He seems to have regained the marksmanship that characterized him in National League qualifying (24 goals). In the playoff quarterfinals against Zug, he had jammed.
Zug striker Sven Senteler also collected three scorer points, after two assists he was responsible for the last goal of the game with a shot into the empty net 36 seconds before the end. Like Moy, Senteler owed a few things in the playoffs – not recording a single scorer.
The Swiss were 1:3 behind by the 27th minute. Two of the three goals they conceded were outnumbered, and Andres Ambühl was in the penalty box twice. The Davos striker played his 304th international match, so he is still one game away from catching up with Swiss record holder Mathias Seger. Goalie Sandro Aeschlimann frittered away the puck before Filips Buncis made it 2-1 (25′).
Fischer took a timeout after the 1:3, which had an immediate effect. 20 seconds later, Calvin Thürkauf succeeded after a nice combination of goals. At 3:3 Geisser scored his first goal in national dress. After that, the guests survived a 114-second double deficit.
The second game against World Cup co-hosts Latvia begins on Saturday at 4 p.m.
