Třinec started the season with four defeats, but did not lose in regular time in the next eight games and scored 19 points out of 24 possible. The Steelers can rely on power plays, in which they have scored half of their 32 goals this season. However, it is still enough to place it in the center of the table.
Pardubice hockey players are fighting for the leading position with Vítkovice, over which they have one point ahead. Dinamo will seek their fifth consecutive victory.
