HC Banik Sokolov won in a shootout at HC Slavia Praha after erasing a three-goal deficit to force 3-3 through regulation and a scoreless overtime. The visitors' only goal of the shootout settled it.
Slavia owned the first period, scoring at 10, 12 and 19 minutes to lead 3-0 after 20. Sokolov answered at 23 and 35 to make it 3-2 after two, then tied it at 50 — the turning point was the second-period response that cut a three-goal margin in half before the break.
The numbers tell it plainly: Slavia scored three times in the opening period and not again, while Sokolov scored three unanswered across the second and third plus the lone shootout conversion. Overtime finished 0-0, leaving the goaltenders to decide it.
