LHC beaten to Zurich –A great reaction from Lausanne HC, but no reward
Lausanne HC lost 3-2 after extension to Zurich. The reigning champions lead 2-0 in the series. Act III on Saturday in Lausanne.
Would Lausanne HC be able to get up after its disillusionment of Act I (0-3) and stand up to the Zurich Lions on a renowned skating rink in play-off? The Lions answered the first question in the affirmative, just after conceding a first and bad goal after less than five minutes of play (1-0, Sigrist).
Two days after having flowed at home, Lausanne HC, solidarity, catchy and this time uninhibited, displayed a very great reaction on Thursday in Zurich. This team, decidedly, knows how to draw inside itself. However, she failed to pick her first success in the final, the fault of a goal from Jesper Fröden after 121 seconds of play in overtime (63rd, 3-2). The Zurichois thus signed their 15th rank of rank in a play-off at home.
The return to the game of Tim Bozon, injured since the fourth act of the semi-final against Friborg-Gottéron, brought more weight to the Lausanne offensive. A first goal by Jason Fuchs (7th, 1-1), a second from Lukas Frick (14th, 1-2): these two Lausanne successes were enough to make the ZSC suddenly much less sure of him. Zurich certainly returned to the match at the end of the second period, when Sven Andrighetto, untenable and omnipresent, found the fault (39th, 2-2). The LHC has still not found the formula to stop the number 10, a real ZSC engine.
Andrighetto still decisive
The Lausanne HC could have hoped for a happy outcome if he had been able to Take advantage of his highlights. In the first period especially. Then later in the third period, when the players of coach Geoff Ward again found the path with the opposing goal with more regularity. There was certainly room to succeed in a blow Thursday in Zurich.
A awkwardness of Gavin Bayreuther – two minutes of penalty for a stroke of cane in the face of Jesper Fröden – 63 seconds from the end of regulation time placed the Lausanne HC in an uncomfortable position when tackling the extension.
In inferiority, the Vaudois nevertheless held good. But they fell for a few moments later, when Fröden’s instant recovery hit the target after 121 seconds of play in additional time (63rd). Act III takes place on Saturday in Lausanne (8 p.m.). The Zurich Lions lead 2-0. The Lausanne HC, for its part, certainly did not say its last word.
