Třinec set out to win and advance in the first minute, when Matěj Stránský opened the score. The 27-year-old eventually scored four Canadian points, scoring three more assists. Martin Růžička and Erik Hrňa twice scored among the shooters.
“We started actively, scored two goals, but then we lost a bit of speed and the opponent punished it. But we took the win back again thanks to two power play. We were already watching the end, we had the game under control,” said home coach Marek Zadina. .
| How it will be in the competition |
| The quarterfinal matches are scheduled for Monday and Wednesday next week, with Třinec and Hradec Králové competing against each other, with Pardubice and Zlín being the second pair. The remaining two pairs will determine Friday’s Sparta result – if the Prague team get at least a point with Kladno, they will face Litvínov. In case of a loss in the basic playing time, they will play with Liberec. |
Four goals scored in the third period helped Zlín to win over first-league Přerov and move to second place ahead of Vítkovice. Zdeněk Okál twice scored among the shooters.
Pardubice already developed a two-goal lead over Haná in the first period, after which the home team managed to reduce thanks to Jan Káni, the East Czechs answered with three goals within four minutes and safely led the Group C match to a victorious end.
In the end, Dynamo took first place in the group, as Hradec Králové lost 2: 3 on the ice of Brno. Martin Zaťovič decided on Kometa’s first win in the competition at 59:03. The East Bohemians had previously managed to erase the two-goal lead of the home team, but they could no longer answer at Captain Brno’s shot.
Talent returns to Litvínov, which also surpassed Reichel. How long will it last?

In the direct battle for promotion, Plzeň also competed with České Budějovice, and Pavel Musil helped it with two goals and assistance. Luboš Rob scored three points for a goal and two assists. Friday’s match between Sparta and Kladno will decide whether the West Bohemians will finish first or second in Group A. Currently, Pilsen has a lead point over Prague.
“A very young, aggressive team came to us. We knew it wouldn’t be easy with them, especially if we kept the disc in the defensive zone for a long time. We did well in the first period, we drew two goals from it. In the second period they put us down a bit. Motor’s goals, the guests were better in the passages, we had problems in the defensive zone and our opponents got it on their horses. But in the last twenty minutes we followed up on the introductory period, “said Pilsen coach Ladislav Čihák on the club website.

The duel between Liberec and Karlovy Vary in Group B was decided by Tomáš Filippi’s goal in the 32nd minute. Former Energie player Dávid Gríger could have increased the home team’s lead in the third period, but he did not change the penalty shot.
“We were a better and more active team in the first half of the match. Unfortunately, we did not manage to change any of the many chances. Liberec took the reins from the middle of the match and finally decided with a single goal. “said guest coach Tomáš Mariška.
Karlovy Vary dropped to third place in the group, which saddened the Energy coach. “Overall, however, I evaluate the group phase very positively, at least there was something to play for and the teams definitely put more into it than if it was nothing,” he added.
Litvínov advanced together with Liberec, who lost 3: 5 in Mladá Boleslav. However, the North Bohemians had a certain progress before the match. “It was a difficult week for us, just like Boleslav we played the third match on the third day. Like last time we dragged on, but the home team was two goals better. We were able to equalize, but in the end we got a goal in the empty net. Now for us one part is over and we have to prepare for Monday, “said Verva coach Vladimír Országh on the club website.
