Genève-Servette defeated Ambri-Piotta 5-2 on Friday on the Levantine ice. The Genevans thus win their 5th match out of 5 played in the new arena in northern Ticino. Next match, Saturday against Bern.
After qualifying for the Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday, the Genevans made the perilous trip to the Gottardo Arena in Ambri-Piotta. A Ticino team ranked 4th and on a streak of 7 consecutive victories. On the other hand, the Genevans have won two consecutive away games and rely on an almost complete team. Only Theodor Lennström and Guillaume Maillard are injured.
1-2 after 20 minutes
The first period is in favor of Genève-Servette, who are formidable in their efficiency when recovering the puck in the opposing defensive zone. Thus Vincent Praplan (a perfect shot in the top corner) and Marc-Antoine Pouliot (at the near post at mid-height) were able to give a 1 and then 2 goal lead to the Genevans, two goals scored in 126 seconds. With his goal, Marc-Antoine Pouliot will have scored at least 1 point in the 5 games played by Geneva in Ambri since the inauguration of the new Levantine arena. The reduction in score comes less than 3 minutes before the end of the first period on a rare Levantine action.
The second period will be more in favor of the Ticinese but it is GSHC who will score the only goal of the middle period. A superb goal from Simon Le Coultre to give his team a 2-goal lead. In this middle period, it is also the Servette penalty kill that stood out with 5 Tessinoise power plays silenced. It is worth noting the solid performance of Gauthier Descloux, master of the puck when necessary.
Fourth magnificent goal
The third period closely resembles the second period. The Levantines are the most pressing but constantly come up against Gauthier Descloux or solid Geneva defenders in front of their goalkeeper. Just when the second Ticinese goal seemed to be taking shape, the Grenats will score a superb counter-attack goal. At the origin and at the conclusion: Sakari Manninen, author of his 9th goal of the season. Note the great vision of play from Miranda and then Hartikainen to deliver a perfect pass to Manninen. The Levantines will score a goal of hope 90 seconds before the end of the match, but hope will be quickly extinguished by Tanner Richard, for his first goal of the season, into the empty net for 5-2.
Next match for the Genevans, Saturday at the Vernets with the reception of another team in great shape: CP Berne. The Grenats will have the opportunity to get even closer to the top 4.
