In the fifth game since the dismissal of championship coach Jan Cadieux shortly before the New Year, Servette suffered their third defeat. Zug made the decisive difference within three and a half minutes in the middle third thanks to goals from Swiss key players Grégory Hofmann and Lino Martschini twice, from 1:1 to 4:1.
Although Geneva, now coached by Yorick Treille and Rikard Franzen, got as close as one goal again, Mike Künzle extinguished the flash in the pan by making it 5:3 in the 45th minute.
The EVZ thus responded to Monday's overtime defeat in Lausanne and consolidated its place in the top 6. Servette is a welcome opponent for the Central Swiss anyway, celebrating their sixth win in a row against the Romands.
