Davos – Bern 7:0
On Friday, the Graubünden team managed to take revenge in front of their home crowd for the 2:3 win in Bern during the week – and how. Top scorer Matej Stransky put Davos on track in the 16th minute. Marc Wieser made it 2-0 after a counterattack in the middle third, before Stransky made the preliminary decision again with a well-placed finish. In the final third, the hosts went for the freestyle: Leon Bristedt (45th), Raphael Prassl (48th), Chris Egli (55th) and again Wieser (56th) sealed the 7-0 victory.
Lakers – Freiburg 1:4
The air remains thin for the Rapperswil-Jona Lakers after their 4th defeat in a row. Yannick-Lennart Albrecht was able to equalize to 1-1 shortly before the end of the first period. In the middle and final thirds, however, the guests acted more cold-blooded in front of the goal. Andrei Bykov finally scored the game-winning goal with a backhand rebound (27th). In the final third, Lucas Wallmark (48th) and Nathan Marchon increased the score with a shot into the empty goal (59th).
Zug – Kloten 2:3 nV
After Geneva-Servette, Kloten also defeated EV Zug. Although the guests in the Bossard Arena were less inferior than in the game on Tuesday, there was still no sign of a victory for the airport town team. They were down 1-2 until 2 minutes before the end. Then Tyler Morley took advantage of a double advantage to equalize. In extra time, Mika Henauer scored the winning goal on a pass from the Canadian.
Lugano – Ambri 5:0
The home team was also able to celebrate at the end of the third Ticino derby of the season. Unlike the first two duels, which each ended with a one-goal difference, it was a clear affair on Friday. The Luganesi scored 5 goals for the Leventiners, who suffered their 4th defeat in a row. Daniel Carr shone in the Corner Arena as a double goalscorer. Ambri couldn’t get a shot past Niklas Schlegel, who celebrated his 2nd shutout of the season.

Geneva-Servette – SCL Tigers 0:2
The SCL Tigers secured an important success away from the reigning champions. For a long time, defender Noah Meier’s second goal of the season in the 29th minute seemed to be enough until another defender, Samuel Erni, added a goal 4 minutes before the final siren. Langnau keeper Luca Boltshauser was not defeated for the second time this season and saved 30 shots on goal.
Ajoie – Lausanne 3:4 aet
The Jurassians suffered their fifth defeat in a row at home against Lausanne, 3-4 after extra time. After all, after 4 games without a point, there was at least one point. Jonathan Hazen saved his team with the 3:3 about 5 minutes before the end in overtime. Antti Suomela made the decision after just one minute.
