The National League's top trio of ZSC Lions, Rapperswil-Jona Lakers and Kloten lose, meaning that no team is unbeaten any more. Lugano is the new leader.

With the ZSC Lions and Rapperswil-Jona, the last two previously unbeaten teams also had to leave the ice as losers for the first time this season.

The previous leaders from Zurich lost 2-0 at Fribourg-Gottéron, while the Lakers lost 3-2 on penalties at home to Lausanne. Kloten lost 2:4 in Lugano and remained without a point for the first time. The Ticino side, who were successful after 60 minutes for the fourth time in a row, now lead the table.

The traditional clubs Bern and Davos celebrated important victories. The SCB sent Ambri-Piotta home with a 4-0 win, their first victory after five defeats. HCD made up for Tuesday's debacle in Langnau (0:7) with a 6:2 away win in Zug.

Champions League winners Genève-Servette got their first win thanks to a 4-0 win in Biel. Ajoie, who have made the worst start to their fourth year since promotion, are still a long way behind. After six games, the Jura side are still without a point.
