In a difficult situation, the hockey players of Třinec once again whipped themselves to a great performance, they did not allow Pardubice to celebrate in front of the sold-out Werk Arena and they won clearly 4:1. In the sixth final battle, however, they lost another key player – striker Andrej Nestrašil…

Nestrašil, who collected nine points (3+6) in 20 games in the ongoing playoffs, spent only 119 seconds on the ice. “He has a slight injury in the upper half of his body,” said coach Zdeněk Moták at the post-match press conference.
