Dominik Simon opened it at 6 minutes off a Christophe Lalancette feed, and Felikss Gavars answered unassisted at 15 for 1-1. The middle period went scoreless before Carter Robertson made it 1-2 at 43, with Simon assisting, and the game broke open at 59, when Kristians Rubins (Lalancette) and Adam Mechura (Ondrej Rohlik) struck for 1-3 and 1-4.
Simon finished with a goal and an assist, Lalancette with two assists — both involved in three of Plzen's four goals. Mlada Boleslav's only goal came at 15 and nothing after it.
