Red Bull Hockey Juniors beat KHL Sisak 4-3 in regulation, and the margin traced back to a two-goal opening period that the visitors spent the rest of the night chasing. Sisak answered in every frame after that but never drew level.
The Juniors were up 2-0 after twenty minutes, then conceded twice in the middle period while adding one of their own to lead 3-2 going to the third. The final period went 1-1, which was enough to close it out at 4-3 without extra time.
The number that carries this one is the first-period 2-0: Sisak matched or outscored the hosts across the last two periods combined and still lost by a goal. Individual scoring details are not available for this game.
