Angers is two points behind Grenoble. The Dukes, traveling to Chamonix, did not detail to sign a third victory in a row in the Magnus League. The first period saw the two teams neutralize each other. If Phil Marinaccio opened the scoring, Riley Guenther then Neil Manning allowed Angers to pass in front then Samuel Salonen put the two teams tied. Philippe Halley then Loïc Farnier allowed the Dukes to get back in front, before Phil Marinaccio closed the gap. The last 20 minutes saw the Angevins change their tone. Two new goals from Philippe Halley, an achievement by Maurin Bouvet then one by Nicolas Ritz ensured the success of the Dukes, Loïc Coulaud only managing to reduce the gap (4-8). Gap, for its part, keeps pace thanks to its success in Bordeaux. While Robin Lamboley responded to Benjamin Lagarde’s opening scoring for the Boxers, the latter took to the water in the last quarter of an hour. A goal from Bostjan Golicic followed by a double from Fabien Colotti enabled Les Rapaces to win (1-4) and keep their third place. But Rouen remains in contact with five games less. The Dragons, beaten in Anglet this week, responded during the reception in Nice.

Rouen is moving forward, the last have rebelled

If the Eagles opened the scoring with Jakub Matai, Andrew Johnston responded. Jesse Pelamo allowed the Niçois to get back in front during the second period but the Rouennais engaged in the last quarter of an hour. David Gilbert, Marc-André Dorion and David Gilbert again in the space of six minutes allowed the Dragons to get closer to victory. Emil Bagin then brought Nice to one length but Rolands Vigners ensured the success of Rouen (5-3). For Cergy-Pontoise, things got more complicated with a third straight defeat on the ice of the Briançon red lantern. The Red Devils have better things to do in the encounter with goals from Rudolf Huna and Charles Schmitt. However, in less than four minutes, the Jokers reduced these efforts to nothing by Pierre-Charles Hordelalay and Aku Kestila. But Rudolf Huna offers Briançon his fourth victory of the season (3-2). A day of which saw the last two rebelling since Mulhouse also won in Amiens. The Scorpions opened the scoring through Samuel Rousseau before Elgin Pearce equalized shortly after half an hour of play. Milan Jurik immediately restored the advantage to Amiens… but Taavi Tiala equalized again less than two minutes later. Phil Pietroniro had the last word at the very end of the second period for Mulhouse (2-3).
