Langnau, Davos and Zug pick up points during third round in NLA

SC Langnau Tigers - Lausanne HC 3:1

Kevin Hecquefeuille opened the score in the 6th minute assisted by Clark and DiDomenico for Langnau. It would take the Bernese another 10 minutes when Christopher DiDomenico scored his first goal of the evening, this time Hecquefeuille gave the assist. Second period, 9 minutes played and once again it was DiDomenico who secured the win for the home team. Gaetan Augsburgers late goal for Lausanne was just a cosmetic change of numbers.

HC Lugano - HC Davos 3-4 OT

In this intense game, 4 out of 7 goals were scored by Swedish forwards, but lets see how it all started. Linus Klasen's goal in the 4th minute opened the score for Lugano but Samuel Walser in the 6th and 9th minute put the guests ahead again. A goalless second period passed by, and again it was Davos who scored the third goal in the 45th minute with Marcus Paulsson as the scorer. But the host didn't want to give up the points without a fight and so Fredrik Pettersson in the 49th minute shot the 2nd goal for the bianco-neri. With only 2 and a half minutes left in regulation, Damien Brunner gave his team the equalizer and at least one point. Lugano's Tony Martensson was benched in the overtime, giving Marcus Paulsson his second goal of the evening and the win for Davos.

EV Zug - Kloten Flyers 4:3

The Flyers were desperate to stop the negative spiral downwards. In their first two games, goalie Gerber had conceived 13 goals which weren't all his fault but he certainly wasn't the wall the team needs right now. Compared to the lats two games, it was the opponent who scored the opening goal of the evening. Josh Holden scored just 2 seconds before the siren went off for the first period in the Bosshard Arena. Reto Suri in the 25th minute increased the score to 2:0. Finally with 34 minutes played, the Flyer's Chad Kolarik put his team on the board a first time but the Flyers didn't make their own life easier by taking minor penalties again and again. Sandro Zangger scored the third goal on a powerplay but Steve Kellenberger capitalized on a chance just 4 seconds before the end of the 2nd period. Holden had a good evening, scoring his second goal in the 48th minute single-handedly. Mark Olver brought back a bit of hope for the guests when he buried the puck in the 51st minute but once again 2 minor penalties slowed down the Flyers and made it impossible to pick up their first point. With this loss, the Flyers are now last in the NLA and are waiting for their first point of the season.
