EHC Basel edged EHC Visp 1-0 in overtime, a game decided by the only goal of the night in the extra period. Sixty minutes of regulation produced nothing on the scoreboard for either side.
The first period ended 0-0, the second stayed 0-0, and after 40 minutes the game was still level. The third brought no change either, and with the score 0-0 through regulation the night carried into overtime, where Basel finally broke through for the 1-0 final.
The headline number is zero: three scoreless periods, both goaltenders unbeaten until the extra session. Basel's lone goal of the game was all the margin they needed.
