Třinec won in Norway
After a bad start to the regular season of the Champions League, the Steelers absolutely had to win in Norway. That’s why they started against Stavanger in the strongest possible line-up, and he also returned to goal after injury

Miloš Holan (coach Vítkovic): “We had a good start to the match. We managed to score a quick goal, we were very active, we were on the puck, our legs worked. We played very actively and had a lot of chances, I think there could have been many more goals. In the second period, we managed to jump back to 2:0 and immediately had two long powerplays, where we had great actions, but did not end up with a goal. After the opponent’s first goal, we went a little with our heads down, which I understand a little in our situation. We got a goal to make it 2:2 and it wasn’t easy. It was hard to get going again, but we encouraged the players that the match ends at the siren. I think we got it back, even though it was uncomfortable at 2-3. It was up and down, I think the audience enjoyed it. We managed to equalize the result sixty minutes ago at 3:3, and in overtime in a power play, when we managed to substitute well, we put Laky back and he returned it to us with a goal. We thank the team for the good representation not only of the club, but of the Czech Republic in the Champions Hockey League.”
