Victory for the Scorpions in Nice, with a shutout for their goalie Anthony Morrone, who made 27 saves.
The Eagles, who were coming off a series of three consecutive wins, poorly handled the visit of Mulhouse, a team that was not well-ranked, and halted their forward momentum. They never managed to find the key to topple their opponents and logically succumbed.
Thanks to a strong start to the game, the Scorpions logically led after the first period (goal by Phil Pietroniro).
In the second period, there were opportunities on both sides, but no one managed to score.
In the final period, it was again Mulhouse who, with excellent technical control, dominated the game, drove the point home through Mugnier, and won the match, creating a surprise at Jean Bouin.
