Defending champions Zürich Lions get crushed 0:7 at Biel; Geneva will finish the season as the best home team in the league;

Biel 7 Zürich 0

The team of Kevin Schläpfer outclassed the the ZSC Lions 7:0. The last 0:7 goes back 22 years ago, Zürich was crashed by Kloten then. The defending champions left the game without resistance. The Lions disappointed at Biel as we didn't see in a long time for a team with a huge European caliber. In the second period they offered Biel four goals all with an incredible amateurism. Biel's goalie Berra came out on shape in the right moment of the season, second shot out(29 saves) in three games. Hat trick for former Rogle's captain Eric Beaudoin.

Fribourg 4 Kloten 3

Fribourg scored after eight minutes and five shots goals already. The 40-year-old Ronnie Rueger began the game with a rate of 20%.

What followed after the first break was not the same game. Kloten score back three times, showing that they are not dead, and the eight spot will be decided in last minute off 50th game. Today (Saturday) the opponent is Geneva for a do or die game to home team.

Zug 2 Langnau 4

Langnau tanked for playout survival morale. From the first four power play opportunities, the guests made three goals.

What kind of Zug we will have in play-offs. This Zug from tonight that is capable to lose with everyone at home, or the Zug that's scores a goal in almost power-play occasions? Response next Saturday for the first play-off match. With 67 points (17 goals 50 assists) Swedish star Linus Omark is almost granted to be the top scorer in 2012/13 season.

Geneva 4 Lakers 0

Without much efforts Chris McSorley's team came out to a smooth 4-0 victory.

Disappointing weeks for the Lakers with the fifth defeat in a row, but much better exhibition compared to the unprecedented tragedy in Kloten (0:12) last week. 58 seconds was enough to Geneva to force the first advantage. The goal from Dan Fritsche forced the Lakers coach already using his timeout. That show's what is the spirit of Lakers team right now.

Statistically Geneva will finish the season as the best home team in the league, wining 18 out of 25 games in "Vernets". Another shot out for Geneva goalie Tobias Stephan this time with 28 saves.

Davos 5 Bern 4

Young players from Bern, Bertschy and Scherwey gave a 2-0 advantage but home team wanted this game more. Swiss defense Beat Forster was the figure of this game helped by Dino Wieser that scored the winning goal at 59:26

Lugano 0 Ambri 4

Ambri-Piotta won this season 10 of a possible 16 points against Lugano and may even return to the 10th place that would give him ice advantage against the Lakers in play-outs.

Nolan Schaefer with 39 saves for the shutout was the figure of the game. Jason Williams scored his 25 th goal this season and equalizes NHL players Damien Brunner and Tyler Seguin on the top goals scored.
