HC Rytiri Kladno erased a two-goal deficit and beat HC Verva Litvinov 3-2 in overtime. The visitors scored the only goal in each of the last three frames after being shut out in the first.
Litvinov owned the opening period, with David Kampf converting off a Matej Mastalirsky feed at 7 minutes and Ondrej Kase doubling it at 14 with Kevin Czuczman assisting, making it 2-0 after 20. Niko Ojamaki, set up by Daniel Audette, pulled Kladno to 2-1 at 30, and Phil Pietroniro's unassisted goal at 47 tied it 2-2 through regulation before the overtime winner.
The telling number: Kladno's 0-1 scoreline in each of the second, third and overtime periods, three straight frames won by the margin they needed. Pietroniro's unassisted equalizer was the pivot, and Audette's assist on the first Kladno goal started the climb back.
