**Roster Rundown**
HC Lausanne heads into this matchup with a roster brimming with talent and depth. Key playmaker Theo Rochette has been a pivotal figure, racking up 32 assists this season—his vision on the ice, second to none. Meanwhile, Ahti Oksanen has emerged as a lethal scoring threat, notching 25 goals. The defense leans heavily on Lukas Frick, who’s been a rock with 18 points and a plus-minus of +12, providing stability and leadership. Between the pipes, Kevin Pasche has been reliable with a save percentage of .921, keeping opponents at bay on most nights.
Fribourg Gotteron, on the flip side, boasts their own stars. Linden Vey leads the charge with an impressive 40 assists, orchestrating plays and keeping the offense fluid. Marcus Sorensen complements him with 27 goals, showcasing his knack for finding the back of the net. Raphael Diaz, their defensive stalwart, throws his weight around with 20 blocked shots and a plus-minus of +10. Veteran goalie Reto Berra guards the crease with a solid .923 save percentage, a tough nut to crack for any forward.
