Lausanne HC handled HC Sierre 6-1 in regulation, a result built on a middle period that turned a one-goal edge into a four-goal cushion. Sierre never got the game back to a single possession after the first intermission.
The visitors took the first period 1-0, then scored three times in the second to lead 4-0 after 40 minutes. Sierre finally got on the board in the third, but Lausanne won that frame 2-1 as well, closing it out at 6-1.
The number that frames it: Lausanne outscored Sierre in all three periods, and its second-period surge accounted for half its goals on the night. Individual scoring details were not available.
