Lugano – ZSC Lions 2:1
HC Lugano – ZSC Lions 2:1: Bachofner’s horror misstep leads ZSC into the next bankruptcy(03:53)
The game to read in the live ticker.
You quickly notice that this game is a duel between two teams who are in poor form. Simple passes don’t work for either side, automatisms don’t work and the power plays of both teams don’t work at all. Therefore, both troops try to find their way into the game through combat.
Lugano laid the foundation for today’s success with solid defensive work. One goal each in the first and second third is enough for the Bianconeri to achieve full success.
The ZSC Lions didn’t manage more than Lammikko’s goal to make it 1-2 towards the end of the middle section. It is already the fifth defeat in a row for Zurich – all without gaining a point. They last experienced such a series of bankruptcies in the 2005/2006 season. (ga/SDA)

Bern – Davos 2: 4
SC Bern – HC Davos 2: 4: Nordstrom shorthander shocks SCB(04:34)
The game to read in the live ticker.
While HCD is anything but present in the second game under the Immonen/Metropolitan duo, SCB gets off to a good start and seeks salvation on the offensive even without Captain Moser (ankle injury, out until mid-February). The fact that the Bernese are only 2-0 up after the first third is thanks to HCD goalie Senn, who made several good saves and was only beaten by Kahun and Scherwey.
After the break, both teams show a different face. After a shorthander from Nordstrom, HCD overruns the Bernese. The shot ratio in the middle third? 23:1 for the guests! And the shots also find their way into the net. In the power play, Bristedt and Dominik Egli turn the game completely.
In the final section, the HCD once again shows a different face. He manages the narrow lead before Ambühl makes everything clear with a minute to go.
On Sunday there will be the second leg of the “mini-playoff”, as SCB sports director Ebbett called it. A fifth Bernese defeat in a row would seriously affect the chances of catching HCD. (sr)

Lausanne – SCL Tigers 5:0
Lausanne HC – SCL Tigers 5:0: Maillard benefits from Langnau’s fatal puck loss(04:26)
The game to read in the live ticker.
Tigers coach Thierry Paterlini pulls his time-out in the 12th minute. An action that is not fruitful. At this point, his team is already 0:2 behind. And shows hardly any bite afterwards. Offensively harmless, the Langnauer appear without penetrating power.
The Tigers only owe it to the fact that Lausanne didn’t do enough with their many shots for a long time that they can still hope to win a point until the final third. This hope finally shattered with the 3:0 in the 48th minute.
Without too much effort, Lausanne ultimately achieved a clear home win and scored the points after the last two zeros. The Tigers are different, who have to leave the ice as losers for the third time in a row. (red)

Biel – Geneva-Servette 2: 3 a.e.t
EHC Biel – Geneva-Servette 2: 3: Omark decides high-class top fight(05:00)
Biel once again failed to make it to the top of the National League.
After the 1: 6 debacle on Tuesday in Fribourg, the Seelanders start with pressure. After only three and a half minutes they lead 2-0 thanks to top scorer Fabio Hofer and Yanick Stampfli, who scored his first National League goal one day after his contract extension.
For his part, Giancarlo Chanton equalized with his first NL goal before Noah Rod equalized with five minutes left. After a good two minutes of extra time, Linus Omark secured the Geneva victory with the first overtime goal. (SDA)

Zug – Fribourg-Gottéron 5:3
EV Zug – Fribourg-Gottéron 5:3: Double pack Duke makes the difference in front of the goal(07:15)
EV Zug reacted in the style of a champion to the unfortunate end of the Champions League semi-final. The defending champion, who has been disappointing in the championship so far, wins the duel against Fribourg-Gottéron 5:3, which is important in the fight for direct playoff qualification, and remains within touching distance of the playoff spots.
The indestructible Julien Sprunger equalized in his 20th season for Friborg with his 55th brace in the final third – no active player has nearly as many – but Zug reacted immediately. (SDA)

Ajoie – SCRJ Lakers 1:4
HC Ajoie – SCRJ 1:4: Three sugar assists – Cervenka unpacks the magic wand(04:22)
In a duel between two in-form teams, the Rapperswil-Jona Lakers stop the run of bottom-placed Ajoie (six wins from the last eight games). The decision to 4:1 falls through three goals in the final third. Rappi top scorer Roman Cervenka shines with the assist to make it 3: 1: From the air he fits in baseball style to Andrew Rowe, who completes. (SDA)
