Tuesday in the Resega saw the highest of these seven defeats, two of which must be attributed to the Champions Hockey League. Seven defeats! In the 1994/95 season - more than 30 years ago (!) - the ZSC Lions once lost nine championship games in a row under Larry Huras. Huras survived this crisis. How many more defeats can head coach Marco Bayer afford?
Justin Sigrist put the ZSC Lions ahead after 107 seconds. But after just 16 minutes, Lugano led 3:1, and after 29 minutes, the home team led 5:1.
Lugano, which had previously lost five of its last six home games, was not the only team to surprise on Tuesday. HC Ajoie defeated the SCL Tigers 2:1 after ten consecutive defeats, while Schlittschuhclub Bern crushed HC Ambri-Piotta 5:0 on the road after four defeats in a row.
At the top of the table, HC Davos continued their march through with a 4-3 home win over EHC Biel. Biel had led 3:2 in Davos until 41 seconds before the end. Lausanne Hockey Club won the chasing duel against the Rapperswil-Jona Lakers 2:1 after overtime. And HC Fribourg-Gottéron moved up to fourth place with a 5-2 win over Zug.
In addition, Genève-Servette Hockey Club won 3-2 on penalties in Kloten.
