- The two National League games on Thursday brought HC Davos and champions Geneva-Servette each a 3-point win.
- Joakim Nordström scored for the in-form Graubünden team in Zug 2 seconds before the end of the 60 minutes to make it 5:4.
- Geneva is working its way into the top 6 thanks to a 2-1 home win in the direct clash at the expense of Lugano.
Zug – Davos 4:5
The high of HC Davos just won’t let up. At EV Zug, second in the table, the Spengler Cup winner has achieved its 4th championship victory – and even its 8th success de suite across all competitions. Notabenen for a team against which they had not yet found a recipe in the current championship (1:5 and 1:3). The Graubünden team experienced ups and downs and only stayed on track thanks to a final spectacular spectacle.

After the starting third, the away team was leading 3-1. The Central Swiss team arrived late in the game and managed to equalize by the middle of the game thanks to Attilio Biasca and Dario Simion. Fabrice Herzog shot his colors into the lead for the first time when they were outnumbered (52′), but Klas Dahlbeck had a quick answer ready (55′). 2 seconds before a possible extra time, Joakim Nordström put the puck into the net to make it 5:4. The EVZ goalie Luca Hollenstein had made a momentous trip behind the goal on his 13th appearance before the decision.
Geneva – Lugano 2:1
The champions from Calvinstadt are no longer one of HC Lugano’s preferred opponents. In the third duel of the season, the first defeat resulted after a 7:4 and a 3:2. The narrow and somewhat fortunate 2-1 home win also lifted Geneva-Servette over the first line at the expense of the “Bianconeri”. Mark Arcobello had put the game on a supposedly successful path for the guests with a 1-0 lead in the 6th minute. In the middle section, the Romands – namely Valtteri Filppula (26th) and Tanner Richard (38th) in the power play – forced the turnaround. Two and a half minutes before the end, the Ticino team’s late celebration was nipped in the bud because the 2-2 was not given by Santeri Alatalo after a coach’s challenge due to an offside position.
