Nice returns defeated from their trip to Alsace, but they came very close to winning.
The Nice team did the essential: they managed to equalize (Bagin 0’56, Hampl 11’22) after an unfortunate first period (0-2) and took the lead at the beginning of the third (Hahorcak 1’58), but they couldn’t withstand the comeback of the locals, who scored the winning goal less than five minutes from the end.
Nice remains 5th in the standings with 17 points after 11 matches. On Tuesday, the Eagles will travel to Epinal before hosting the formidable Gap at Jean Bouin.
