Genève-Servette HC took a 1-0 decision at GKS Tychy, and it came down to a single shift in the 59th minute. Vili Saarijärvi scored the only goal of the night, assisted by Simon Le Coultre, with the game settled in regulation.
The first two periods produced nothing on the scoreboard — 0-0 after twenty, 0-0 after forty — a tight, low-event game with neither side solving the other's goaltender. The turning point arrived at 59 minutes, when Saarijärvi finished off Le Coultre's feed to break the deadlock with the clock nearly out.
The number that matters is the one in the goals column: one, from a defenseman, in the game's final minute. Saarijärvi's strike and Le Coultre's assist accounted for the entire scoring output of the night.
