U21 Elit
① Davos U21 benefit from home-ice and a tighter defensive structure against Biel-Bienne Spirit U21.
② Goaltending is a key variable, with Davos' netminder offering better peripherals this season and reducing goal allowances.
③ Biel-Bienne's offense will push the pace, but Davos' penalty kill and forechecking should limit quality chances.
① Lugano U21 have an edge in depth and home advantage, likely to translate into more sustained pressure on Fribourg Gotteron.
② The Swiss junior sides typically display robust possession metrics and solid goaltending that can limit late-game swings.
③ Lugano's scoring lines showed recent form, pressing Fribourg to withstand extended pressure across the rink.
① GCK Lions U21 and EV Zug U21 are evenly matched, with neither side dominating possession through sustained stretches.
② Goaltenders will be tested, but neither unit yields many clean nets; expect a tight 2-2 draw.
③ Both teams have capable shooters, and special-teams efficiency could swing the outcome in overtime or a shootout.
① Scl Young Tigers U21 host Lausanne HC Academy U21 in a match with clear home-ice advantage and sharper forechecking.
② The Tigers' depth in scoring lines and goaltending consistency has them favored to edge the visitors.
③ Lausanne's counter-attacks may create chances, but their defense must tighten to prevent sustained pressure.
