EHC Olten wrapped up a 4-1 regulation win over EV Landshut, leaning on early control and a decisive third period. Olten never trailed after putting up two goals in the first period and answered Landshut's lone strike with two more in the final frame.
The home side opened a 2-0 lead by the first intermission. Landshut cut that gap to 2-1 in the second period, and Olten closed it out by scoring twice in the third while holding Landshut scoreless.
The standout pattern was Olten's balance: two goals in the opening period and two more in the third bookended Landshut's single goal in the second. That was enough to settle matters in regulation.
