Lausanne HC took care of HC Ambri-Piotta 4-1 in regulation, and the game was effectively decided before the second intermission. Two goals in the back half of the first period gave the hosts a cushion they never had to defend under real pressure.
Erik Brannstrom opened it unassisted at 14, and Axel Simic made it 2-0 at 18 off a Drake Caggiula feed. Damien Riat's goal at 37, assisted by Romain Loeffel, pushed it to 3-0 and removed the last bit of doubt; Michael Joly answered at 46 with Nate Schnarr assisting, but Lausanne restored the three-goal margin at 57 for the 4-1 final.
The period splits tell it plainly: 2-0, 1-0, 1-1. Lausanne scored in all three periods, held Ambri-Piotta off the board for 45 minutes, and got four different scoring sequences without needing a late push.
