Gottéron scored through Sörensen (10th) and captain Sprunger (27th). Both scored their fifth goal of the year. De la Rose (55th) and Bertschy (59th/into the empty goal) further added to the bill for Lugano, who had nine wins in eleven games.
In the other match of the evening, leader Davos suffered their first setback of the season at home, losing 6-4 against an astonishing Ambri-Piotta. The visitors quickly took a two-goal lead, each time in a power play after a penalty from Jung. The Grisons, however, came back and even led 3-2 before Dotti‘s equalizer (39th).
The last few minutes were crazy. Zgraggen gave the advantage back to Ambri (56th), but Egli responded (57th). Zwerger then signed the 5-4 for the biancoblu 37 seconds after the 4-4, before Formenton secured the three points in the empty cage 49 seconds from the siren.
