Although Třinec led 1:0 in Pilsen after the first period, it seemed that the Steelers would confirm the increase in form. But in the rest of the match, only the Indians scored goals. Just before the second break, Schleiss equalized and forward Suchý ensured the West Bohemian team a full point gain.
Other teams also did well at home stadiums. Motor České Budějovice won over Liberec 4:1, took after three matches without a point gain and sent Kladno to the bottom of the table. Olomouc then scored against Mountfield and celebrates a 5:0 victory.
Bruslari from Mladá Boleslav performed a sensational turn. They lost to Lithuanian Verva 0:3 after the first period, but in the end they can celebrate. A four-goal cannonade in the third 20-minute period earned Central Bohemia a final victory of 6:4.
The hockey players from Pardubice achieved a club record when they won thirteen times in a row in the extra league. They improved the previous maximum from 2010 in the home match against Kometa. Although Brno was leading 3:1, Pardubice equalized at 3:3 in a wonderful finish. Extra time did not determine the winner, it had to be raids. Striker David Cienciala decided in the fifth series.
