HC Pribram won 3-1 at IHC Pisek in regulation, and the work was effectively done before the third period. Two second-period goals turned a narrow lead into a three-goal cushion, and Pisek never got closer than two.
Pribram opened in the seventh minute for 1-0 and carried that into the first intermission. The middle frame was the turning point: Pribram scored twice, with the visitors up 3-0 after 40 minutes. Pisek's lone answer came in the 50th minute to make it 3-1, the only goal of the third period.
The number that frames it: 3-0 on the road through two periods, 0-2 for the hosts in those same 40 minutes. Pisek outscored Pribram 1-0 in the third, but a one-goal push after trailing by three was never going to be enough.
