Zagłębie Sosnowiec won 4-2 over HC ZUBR Přerov in regulation, deciding the game with a three-goal third period. The match was evenly poised through 40 minutes before the home side broke it open.
The first period ended scoreless, and the teams traded single goals in the second to reach the intermission tied 1-1. In the third, Zagłębie outscored Přerov 3-1, turning a deadlocked game into a two-goal win.
The standout number was the third-period margin: three goals after managing just one through the opening two periods. That outburst provided the difference in a game otherwise defined by tight, even play.
