Tops and flops of the month: An exciting boy, a hero and endless spectacle

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 iQNQmc”>

The 31-year-old Swede does not give up, remains aggressive, gets on the opponent’s nerves in every possible way and, not least, scores goals on the running meter. The competition’s top scorer already has 27 goals to his name.

The player from Zurich in Biel, who will storm for the EVZ next season, is one of those players of whom you never know when they will use their tricks and show something special. When he scored his goal in Lugano, the thirty-year-old didn’t let anything or anyone stop him. He artfully pulls the puck around defender Calle Andersson and beats goalkeeper Niklas Schlegel.

For the second time, the SCB attacker shines as a fantastic preparation. He was celebrated here in November for his no-look pass. This time the 32-year-old from Friborg serves goal scorer Thierry Schild on foot in Lugano.

HCD long-term favorite Andres Ambühl can hardly believe it when SCB goalkeeper Philip Wüthrich (27) prevents a goal that would be certain with a dive during his comeback.

Hats off! Davos defender Enzo Guebey (24) intervened with the referees when the score was 0-1 when Bern striker Thierry Schild had to go to the penalty area. «I felt bad when my opponent had to go. Because he wasn’t even near me,” said the French international with a Swiss license. The referees then pardon the SCB attacker.

Bottom team Ajoie surprisingly celebrates a 2-1 victory in Zug. A goal from the Jurassians caused an upset that should not have counted. In the crowd, Matteo Romanenghi kicks the puck over the goal line.

No one received more penalty minutes (35) in January than Kloten’s defender. But Nicholas Steiner (32) doesn’t just hand it out, he also has to take it. Initially he was lucky that frustrated goalkeeper Juha Metsola did not catch him trying to hit his stick on goal after conceding another goal against Fribourg. The 1.82 m man is then defeated by Kevin Fey (1.73 m) against Ajoie.

In the penalty shootout victory against Biel, Lugano’s powerful wing showed great refinement. The 28-year-old Ticino beats goalkeeper Joren van Pottelberghe with an unexpected one-handed shot. Magic.

It is bitter for the Zug goalkeeper that the match against his future club Davos ends this way. In the last second, Luca Hollenstein (23) concedes the 4:5 and doesn’t look good, to say the least.

Lugano had just conceded 4-2 in the defeat in Zurich when the Ticino team’s Finnish goalkeeper fell off the boards. Mikko Koskinen (35) seems to have been unsure whether he should return to goal. Perhaps also because substitute Thibault Fatton had briefly been in goal beforehand.

After returning from Montreal Canadiens camp, the top Austrian talent, who was drafted No. 5 last summer, struggled to cope with the immense pressure. But in recent weeks the 19-year-old defender has found his feet again. He also played a role in Kloten winning five times in a row.
