Třinec leads Tipsport Extraliga standings before facing Litvínov

HC Oceláři Třinec leads the Tipsport extraliga standings with 18 points after six games, maintaining a perfect record despite falling behind on home ice during every match in Třinec. The team enters its 7. kolo fixture against HC Litvínov looking to protect an unblemished 6-0-0 record. While Třinec’s matches have seen early goaltending changes, isport.tv reported that the broader league schedule features six matches on the same evening, including a clash between second-place HC Dynamo Pardubice and third-place Plzeň.

Třinec Overcomes Early Deficits Behind Kubiesa and Hudáček

On September 29, 2026, the league leaders conceded three goals in the first period against Rytíři Kladno before roaring back for a 6-4 victory. Kladno seized advantages of 2-0 and 3-1 during the opening twenty minutes, prompting Třinec to change its goaltender for the second time this season. Forward Matěj Kubiesa sparked the recovery with two goals, while Libor Hudáček registered a goal and two assists to maintain his team-high 11 points (2 goals, 9 assists) across six appearances. Kurovský added a crucial shorthanded marker in the third period to cement the comeback, as Třinec extended its goal differential to 28-14 on the young season.

Litvínov Tests Extraliga Leaders

As Třinec puts its 4-0-0 home record on the line against Litvínov, Ondřej Kacetl has shouldered the heaviest workload in the crease, playing five games with a 93.86 save percentage and a 1.62 goals-against average. Třinec’s special teams remain a potent weapon, converting power plays at a 40.91 percent clip (9 of 22), though their penalty kill operates at 77.78 percent. Meanwhile, isport.tv highlighted that the full slate brings intense pressure across the Czech top flight, with Karlovy Vary bringing the competition’s best defense into their match against Vítkovice, and Kladno seeking to snap a three-game skid against Mountfield HK.
