Servette – move 4: 0

Joël Vermin has decided the match of the round in the National League. Vermin led the Genève-Servette Hockey Club to a 4-0 victory over Zug.

Zuger have lost only for the second time in this league and for the first time away. Even though the decision came from Zuger Optik after 47 minutes, Servette deservedly won this match.

The Servettien close to the lead after 80 seconds with Vermin (shot from the post). The 1-0, however, fell only after 29 minutes. Parasite seemed to deflect Linus Omark’s aim; Omark kept the goal until the end of the match. There were no more doubts about 2-0. Vermin went back and forth, was shot down by Yannick Zehnder, and after Vermin’s collision with Zug goalkeeper Leonardo Genoni, the puck slipped behind the line.

This decisive goal was bitter for Zug because a few seconds earlier Dario Simion had missed the equalizer after a brilliant pass from Gregory Hofmann. Then the defender Simion was missing. Twelve seconds after the 2-0 win, Michael Völlmin brought his first goal of the season to 3-0 for Geneva.

At Servette, Gauthier Descloux reached the first block of the season with 28 saves. Descloux guarded the gate because Daniel Manzato, the other guardian of Geneva, was still in quarantine. Manzato lives in Friborg and the canton’s doctor has ordered a longer quarantine for him than for the rest of the Geneva team, which had been training again since Tuesday.

Ambri-Piotta – Bern 4: 3 nP

The Bern ice skating club has slipped further into the crisis in Ambri. The Bernese led 3-0 until 34 minutes, but fell completely after the first goal and lost 3: 4 on penalties.

For more than 30 minutes, everything indicated that the Bernese would be able to free himself. Progress has been made on two “sites”. In the first nine games, the SCB have only scored two goals in power play (out of 25 occasions). In Leventina, Bern scored 1-0 (by Ramon Untersander) and 3-0 (by Gaëtan Haas) in the first 26 minutes from the first two odds.

After conceding the first goal, nothing positive was seen at Bern. Noele Trisconi and Julius Nättinen (goals 9 and 10 of the season) draw. Ambri could have won the game in regular time.

On penalties, Ambri-Piotta succeeded in four attempts by Jiri Novotny, Brian Flynn and Dominic Zwerger. Only Untersander met for Bern.
