The people from Nice had just delivered a superb performance, with an additional victory against Grenoble, the league leader, but they could not confirm this against the number 2, Angers.
They leave the IceParc with a heavy defeat (6-1). Jesse Pessotto scored the only goal for the Eagles, in the second period.
Just like this past Friday, in the championship on October 15 (3-0) and in the quarter-final of the French Cup on December 1 (3-2 shootout), the Angers Dukes had already prevailed over the Nice Eagles at Jean Bouin.
But as the proverb says, there is no two without three. Indeed, that’s exactly the case.
