And with the away win in the Fribourg arena, the Lakers make it clear that they have recovered from their interim slump (7 defeats). For the first time since mid-October, the St. Gallen team has won two games in a row.
Although Rapperswil-Jona only decided the game at the end, the Lakers' victory was not undeserved. Roger Rönnberg, Gottéron's coach, was forced to call a timeout after just four minutes. The Lakers led 2:0 going into the final period.
The final period was turbulent: American Kyle Rau and Swede Marcus Sörensen equalized for the home team. The Swedes Malte Strömwall made it 3-2 in the 57th minute and Jacob Larsson scored the final goal with a shot into the empty net.
