What an important goal: Matej Stransky (M.) celebrates his late 4:4.

Until the 59th minute, things did not look good for HC Davos in Biel on Thursday. So far the Grisons were behind 3:4 and had to take into account a zero points evening in the heated battle before top scorer Matej Stransky scored the majority to make it 4:4. Thanks to Leon Bristedt and again Stransky, the HCD even defeated the Zeelanders in the penalty shootout. Instead of none, the record champions received two extremely valuable points. The direct encounters saw them overtake Lugano, who were now level on points, and moved up to 6th place.

«We knew we absolutely needed these points and didn’t give up until the end. Looking at the entire match, the points were ultimately distributed fairly,” says HCD star striker Enzo Corvi (31) about the late turnaround in Biel. This completely changes the initial situation. While the residents of Bunden have always been hunting for the top 6 in recent weeks, they now suddenly become the prey for the last two rounds. “Everything is extremely tight. But we have to look at ourselves, everything else is meaningless,” says Corvi.

Been in play-off mode for a while now

However, the good starting position is immediately in danger again when you consider that the team from Davos will then have to play against the confident and in-form leader ZSC Lions on Saturday. But: The team from Zurich is HCD’s favorite opponent this season – Josh Holden’s team has won the three matches so far (3:2, 3:0, 3:2 nV). “They are with us and if we play our game, we have a good chance to score again. Not only are we in play-off mode now, we have been in play-off mode for a long time,” Corvi said before the hot match.

Finally, we travel to Pruntrut to HC Ajoie on Monday. This was defeated for the first time this season on Tuesday, but it was another tall order against the Jurassians with a 6:4 victory. Will ex-HCD coach Christian Wohlwend and Ajoie ultimately meet the Davos team out of direct play-off luck? Such an unusual scenario is still conceivable.
