Fribourg-Gottéron avoided the slide in Ajoie on Friday. At the bottom, the Dragons turned the game around mid-match to win 2-1. Genève-Servette for its part beat Kloten 2-0.
Since the arrival of Greg Ireland at the head of HC Ajoie at the end of last October, the Jura team has become particularly difficult to maneuver within its walls. Freiburg, which is also going through a good period since Lars Leuenberger was in charge, also experienced this on Friday evening.
The Ajoulots also took advantage of the first penalty of the match to open the scoring with a slap shot from Honka at the bottom of the young Gallay’s cage (15th).
The two teams then fairly neutralized each other, despite a few opportunities on both sides. But the visitors ended up turning the tide in the middle of the match. First thanks to Bertschy, who managed to equalize in numerical inferiority (29’57”) with his first goal in 12 matches, then with the help of a superb relay number between Wallmark and Sörensen, which the latter concluded with mastery (31’00”).
In the sequence, Lilja even found the post again on a cross shot. And the Jurassians never really recovered from this blow.
The men of Ireland tried everything in the last two minutes by taking out Conz for an extra skater, without managing to equalize. Gottéron even adjusted the post again 18 seconds from time.
A long first goal to come
At Vernets, Genève-Servette came out on top against Kloten in a match which above all offered a lot of technical waste. Despite jumping from one goal to another, neither of the two opponents managed to find the fault after the first forty minutes.
-The Genevans ended up opening the score 25 seconds after the second return from the locker room. Quick to escape from the fray, Jooris received a perfect pass from Granlund to deceive Waeber.
Jooris was the liberator of the Eagles, since it was again he who flew to ensure the Geneva victory in the empty cage 34 seconds from the final siren against an opponent deprived of his suspended topscorer Miro Aaltonen.
Lugano picked up a prestigious success at Resega against Davos for the great first of Uwe Krupp at the helm. The Ticinese, still under the bar with Ajoie, dominated the Graubünden, 3rd in the standings before the match, with a score of 6-3.
Zug did even better by outclassing Bern in the capital 1-5, to take second place previously occupied by the Bears.
The duel between Ambri and the Zurich Lions, in Ticino, turned to the advantage of the visitors (3-2 ap), thanks to a goal from Malgin in overtime.
