HC Benatky nad Jizerou handled Mostecti LVI 5-1 in regulation, and the third period did the damage. Tied at a goal apiece through forty minutes of a tight, low-event game, the hosts scored three times in the final frame to turn a one-goal margin into a rout.
Benatky opened the scoring in the sixth minute and led 1-0 after twenty. The middle period was traded evenly, 1-1, with a Benatky goal at 28 and a Mostecti reply at 34, leaving it 2-1 after two. Then came the turn: Benatky struck at 41, again at 46 and once more at 60 to close it out at 5-1.
The split tells the story: Benatky won the first period 1-0, drew the second 1-1 and took the third 3-0. Five of the six goals in the game belonged to the home side, and all three of their third-period strikes arrived inside twenty minutes of play.
