The forecast was respected and Grenoble easily won the first game of the series with an impressive score of 5-1 (3-0, 1-0, 1-1).
Tomorrow night, the second act will take place.
Grenoble made the difference in 4 minutes, between the 9th and the 13th. After starting the game well, the BDL quickly opened the scoring thanks to Guillaume Leclerc. Serious and focused, the Dauphinois didn’t take long to double the lead through Sacha Treille. Without letting up, Edo Terglav’s men continued on their trajectory, and Denny Kearney widened the gap.
This was followed by a long period during which the Grenoble players often found themselves in a power play situation, a situation in which they have accustomed us to being formidable, without scoring, however.
In this first of at least three hurdles remaining before the semifinals, the lead taken by the Brûleurs de Loups allows them to manage without really being threatened by the Eagles.
Right at the start of the second period, Damien Fleury allowed the BDL to extend their lead, skillfully adjusting the Nice goalkeeper with a composed shot.
Despite the calm exuded by the BDL, Lukas Horak still had to make several saves, which he did brilliantly. And the Polesud crowd recognized it, designating him MVP, despite the goal conceded 5 minutes before the end that deprived him of a well-deserved shutout.
Teddy Da Costa, very lively, closed the proceedings, offering a 5th goal to the BDL a few seconds before the final whistle.
