HC '05 Banska Bystrica shut out HK Poprad 4-0 in regulation, and the game was effectively decided inside the opening 20 minutes. Three first-period goals gave the hosts a cushion they never had to defend hard.
Lukas Tomka opened it in the 4th minute off a Dominik Jendek feed, then Rok Ticar made it 2-0 in the 11th with Marek Valach assisting. David Soltes struck a minute later for 3-0, and the middle period went scoreless before Boris Zabka closed it out at 51 minutes, assisted by Roman Faith.
The number that frames it: four goals from four different scorers, each with a different primary assist — Jendek, Valach, Yoan Loshing and Faith. Bystrica's goaltender finished with the shutout, untroubled across the final 40 minutes.
