In the National League, Fribourg-Gottéron won the chasing duel against Lausanne 2:1 and are now alone in second place, followed by Lugano, who won 3:2 in Zug thanks to a late goal.
Genève-Servette, on the other hand, handed the Rapperswil-Jona Lakers their eighth defeat in the last nine games with a 2:5 loss.
The SCL Tigers also appear to be searching for form. The Emmental side lost a spectacular game in Biel 5:6 despite leading several times, meaning the Tigers had to leave the ice as losers for the third time in a row.
As is well known, things are not going according to plan for cantonal rivals SC Bern either. The Bernese suffered a 2:4 defeat in Kloten. Heinz Ehlers' team thus remains in second-last place.
The gap to bottom-placed Ajoie is still there, but it has shrunk to eight points. The team from Jura celebrated a surprising 3-2 win at champions ZSC after trailing 2-0.
