A dramatic turn of events for the leaders Bordeaux, who are surprised at home by Nice with a score of 3-5. The Eagles thus put an end to a series of five defeats and leave with the three points of victory.
The players from Nice took the lead in the first period with Hamrak, strengthened it with a second goal from Visnak before enduring Bordeaux’s response which brought the score to 3-2.
In the final period, first Kubus, then Varga, and finally Quinn (with the goalkeeper pulled) turned the result around and scored the winning goals.
An unexpected but important success that will revive Stan Sutor’s men’s season after a concerning slump. It also bodes well ahead of the away game to Gap in the next championship round.
The Eagles remain second to last in the standings but are now just 1 point behind Dijon.
