Lausanne had a difficult trip to Bern. Against the Bears, the Lausannes lost 7-2. For its part, Bienne snatched the two points against Ambri at home by winning 2-1 after extra time.
Winner of four of its last five matches in the league, Lausanne came up against a “SCB” who perhaps wanted more after suffering two consecutive defeats. A double in 240 seconds from Simon Moser (3rd 1-0, 7th 2-0) very quickly placed the Bears in the right orbit.
Dominated, the LHC was able to reduce the gap in the 10th with a shot from Aurélien Marti. But Geoff Ward’s men folded during the middle period, Waltteri Merelä (27th) and Austin Czarnik (33rd, 5 against 4) giving Berne two points back. The 5-1 signed Benjamin Baumgartner after 29” in the third period stunned the Vaudois.
Hofer offers victory to Biel
For its part, HC Bienne defeated Ambri-Piotta after extra time thanks to a success from Fabio Hofer 56” from the end of the extra period. Biel, which remains on seven victories in its last nine National League matches, is firmly established in the top-6.
