Nati becomes friendly against Latvia after Aeschlimann-Bock

class=”sc-3778e872-0 cKDKQr”>

Third World Cup preparation week and the Nati duel in Riga with later group opponent Latvia. New to the team are NHL defender Berni (Columbus) and ZSC defender Kukan, Simion, Senteler, Herzog and Geisser van Zug. And of course Goalie Genoni, who gets another break.

Aeschlimann is standing in the gate. After a difficult start, the Swiss bites into the race. But just after their 1:1 equalizer, Aeschlimann made money: During his journey behind the sixteen, the passing stations whistled by advancing Latvians. The puck slipped away from the HCD goaltender and he served the goal chance on a silver platter.

With determination – and Moy – to turn

Two minutes later, the Latvians doubled to take a 3-1 lead. Like the first goal, the goal falls in the majority. And just like with the first goal, captain Ambühl is in the penalty area. Ironically, the veteran, who now misses a game, has to match Mathias Seger’s international record (305 games).

But the Swiss won’t let themselves be shaken that easily. They respond decisively. A world-class goal from Thürkauf and a goal from Geisser put them close. With the second goal of the evening and his third goalscorer, Moy not only provides good reasons for a World Cup ticket, but also the decider.

In addition to NHL defenseman Janis Moser (Arizona) joining the team, Nino Niederreiter and Winnipeg were eliminated from the playoffs last night. As usual, he still has to go through and pass the medical exams before the necessary insurance can be arranged. According to coach Fischer, all NHL Swiss have expressed their commitment to the national team.
