Lausanne HC took it 5-5 in a shootout, winning the skills competition 1-0 after clawing back from three down inside the final four minutes of regulation. Three goals in 195 seconds forced overtime, and the scoreless extra period sent it to the breakaways.
The first period traded punches: Simas Ignatavicius at 6, Axel Simic at 10 off Nathan Vouardoux, Roger Karrer at 12 from Matthew Verboon, Stefan Ruegsegger at 14 from Yannick Zehnder for 2-2. Geneve-Servette owned the middle frame with Verboon at 33 and Dave Sutter at 35 from Sakari Manninen for 2-4, and Simon Le Coultre made it 2-5 at 56. The turn came immediately after: Curtis Lazar at 58, Ahti Oksanen at 58, Drake Caggiula at 59.
Verboon was the night's most productive skater with a goal and two assists, all for the visitors. Vouardoux and Zehnder each posted two assists for Lausanne, both feeding one of the comeback goals; the shootout then produced the only separation, 1-0.
