On their ice, they won 5-0 thanks to the successes of Tim Bozon (9th), Ken Jäger (26th and 58th) and Théo Rochette (49th and 56th). With this double, the international striker, passer on the 2-0, did not miss his return to business after being injured for a month.
Faced with the Ticino who had two victories against Zurich and Davos, Lausanne delivered a very successful performance. Author of 21 saves, Kevin Pasche has rebuilt his confidence with this clean sheet, his second of the month already after the one made thirteen days ago against Bienne (1-0).
Friday, Kevin Pasche, Théo Rochette and their teammates will have to demonstrate the same brilliance during the summit clash against Davos in Graubünden. The leader will, in fact, have to be forgiven for his hiccup on Wednesday evening. He lost 3-0 on his ice in front of Langnau.
Trailing after only 55” of play on a goal from Harri Pesonen, the Davosians were broken by a Stéphane Charlin of great evenings. The Tigers goalkeeper stopped 44 shots to remind us, after his unfortunate break with the Swiss team, that he remained one of the country’s greatest talents.
In the evening’s two other matches, Rapperswil-Jona and their new head coach Johan Lundskog beat Bern 4-2 to end a streak of 8 straight defeats. Finally in Kloten, Lugano lost 6-3, betrayed once again by too erratic defense.
