Ambri and Lausanne are the blockbusters of the championship

Ambri are playing really well despite the injuries of two main players. The away team are mostly relying on their defense and so far it hasn't failed them

Few people apart from diehard fans hoped that Ambri and Lausanne will be this high on the table after ten rounds. However, with their excellent performances they deserved every point they earned and it would be no injustice if they had a few more.

Ambri used all the offense problems of Zug in the last round and won. Zurkirchen locked his goal firm and with 44 saves he was the top name of the match. The success was even greater considering it was made without two of the best players, Noreau and Williams.

 - There is no big secret about it. We are a balanced team in which the individuals are subordinate to the collective. We are all working for the result and in the end it pays off - pointed out the coach Pelletier.

The mentioned duo will be missing today as well, which is certainly a handicap for the home team.

A speculation occurred of possible introduction of the veteran Domeichelli after he was fired from Lugan but no one in the ranks of Ambri wanted to confirm or deny that for now.

Lausanne took all three points in the local derby against Servette. According to expectations we watched an extremely tough match dominated by the defenses and goalies. Their goalie Huet was in an especially good mood. Their excellent performance is even better if we know the Frenchman had problems with an injury:

 - There is always the risk in hockey. Still, the pain is not so strong that it would keep me from playing.

That means he will be ready for next matches as well which is certainly a big encouragement for the coach Ehlers:

 - I am proud of my players. Everything we did this season is a proof that with maximum effort expectations can be exceeded. I believe we will be even better as the rounds proceed.

The away team don't have significant problems with injuries, at least not such that the roster would significantly change compared to previous matches.

Ambri were "in under" in 7 out of their 10 matches, the guests in 9 out of 10. The first ones score 4,9 goals per game on average, while the latter ones 4,4. The home team will miss their forward Williams and great defenseman Noreau. Lausanne scored five goals in their last five matches. They had three days’ resting period, and we can expect their first goalkeepers on goals. Every match can go into "over", but simply there are no tangible reasons for something like that to happen.
