After a burst of energy on Friday in Chamonix (4-2 victory), Nice fell once again in Bordeaux and sees its hopes of catching up with the pack of Top 8 qualifiers seriously compromised.
In Bordeaux, against a team that had just come off a negative series of 5 games, the Eagles couldn’t do much despite a flashy start to the match.
A lightning start (first goal by Thomas at 0:34), doubled by another goal from Doray at 3:42, was not enough. The Boxers came back in the first period (2-2) and then went on a rampage in the following period (3-0 and 18 shots to 2!).
In the final period, Kubus narrowed the gap at 11:03 before Bordeaux scored again (6-3).
