Trinec U20 took it 1-0 over HC Energie Karlovy Vary U20 in the U20 Extraliga Junioru, and it needed a shootout to get there. Sixty-five minutes of hockey produced nothing on the scoreboard; the only mark in the goals column arrives at the 68th minute, credited to Trinec as the shootout decider.
The first period ended 0-0, the second kept it 0-0, and the third left the score untouched again — three straight scoreless frames with the running score after each period reading 0-0. Overtime solved nothing either, so the turning point was simply the skills competition, where Trinec converted and Karlovy Vary did not.
The number that defines the night is zero: neither side scored across regulation or the extra period, and the shootout attempt at 68 minutes was the lone goal recorded in the entire game. Goaltending on both ends carried this one; Trinec just got the one extra puck past at the end.
