HC Ambri-Piotta owes its away win to efficiency. The Leventines scored three goals from just seven shots on goal in the first 27 minutes through Dario Bürgler, Dominik Kubalik and Axel Heim. Bürgler and Kubalik scored on the power play.
The ZSC Lions did not manage another miracle. On Wednesday in the Champions Hockey League, the Lions had turned a 0:3 into a 4:3 at the Eisbären Berlin. But a feat like that doesn't happen every night. Derek Grant and Juho Lammikko reduced the deficit to 2:3 for Zurich SC, but in the end Chris DiDomenico scored two goals into the empty Zurich net in front of 11,528 spectators to make it 5:2 for Ambri - despite 39:24 shots on goal for the Lions.
The ZSC Lions conceded their second home defeat of the season in their 14th championship home game after losing 3-2 after overtime against Davos.
