After a first defeat in the opening of the championship, Genève-Servette travels to Davos this Saturday with the firm intention of taking its first points of the season! Author of the only Geneva goal in Lausanne, Teemu Hartikainen will be the TopScorer in the Grisons.
Genève-Servette travels to Davos this Saturday for its second National League match of the season. The Eagles narrowly lost to Lausanne on Tuesday, in the opening game of the championship. Despite the defeat, there are many positive aspects to take away from this match. Defensively, the Genevans held firm and conceded few chances to their opponents. In addition, they managed to maintain a 100% success rate when shorthanded (boxplay), despite conceding six penalties. Robert Mayer was one of the great satisfactions of the evening, with a solid performance in a rink where it is never easy to impose yourself. It will be necessary to maintain this defensive rigor, especially since the first eight games of the season are played away.
Against Davos, however, it will be crucial to find some offensive sparks in order to quickly put themselves out of harm’s way. The Grisons lost their first home game of the season against Kloten last Tuesday, and did not do any better this Thursday in Lugano. They will also be looking for a victory in front of their home crowd. Davos have had a particularly successful transfer campaign, with the arrivals of Zadina (after six seasons in the NHL), Adam Tambellini (one of the best players in the SHL), Tino Kessler (ex-Biel), Nico Gross (ex-Zug) and Julius Honka (ex-Bern, who spent time on loan at GSHC last season). On the other hand, they have lost Egli, Prassl and Peltonen in their Swiss contingent/Swiss license. The Davosians will still be able to count on their goalkeeper Aeschlimann, internationals Corvi, Ambühl and Fora, as well as their top scorer Stransky. They are a balanced and resolutely offensive team. This match will be a good test for the Eagles, once again on the road.
This match between HC Davos and Genève-Servette Hockey Club will take place at the Eisstadion in Davos this Saturday, starting at 7:45 p.m. The match will be broadcast live and in full on MySports and Radio Lac (91.8).
