Dynamo Pardubice took the road win 5-3 in Brno, and they took it in the third period, outscoring Kometa 3-0 over the final twenty after trailing 3-2 through forty. Nothing about the first two periods suggested a comfortable finish for the visitors.
Andrej Kollar opened it at 7 off a Kristián Pospíšil feed, David Tomasek answered at 16 to make it 1-1 after one. Jiri Smejkal put Pardubice ahead at 26 with Miguel Tourigny assisting, before Hynek Zohorna (30, Pospíšil again) and Adam Zboril (33, Arttu Ilomaki) turned it 3-2 for the hosts. The turn came at 47, when Lukas Sedlak tied it from Roman Cervenka, and Dynamo went in front at 56.
Pospíšil finished with two assists on the Kometa side, the only multi-point line on the home sheet. For Pardubice it was distribution that mattered: five different scoring sequences, with Cervenka's setup on the equalizer the one that flipped the game.
