HC Dynamo Pardubice closed the Regular Season with a 2-1 overtime win over Växjö Lakers, sealed by Jáchym Kondelík’s goal in the 64th minute. Both teams had already secured Playoff places and were looking to improve their positions in the standings in their final game of the Regular Season.
Växjö took the lead late in a defensively played first period. After Pardubice lost possession in the attacking zone, Peter Cehlárik and Matias Mäntykivi combined on a two-on-one counter-attack, with Cehlárik finishing on his forehand. Pardubice thought they had equalised in the 25th minute, but the goal was disallowed after Oleksii Yevtiekhov was penalised for cross-checking on the play.
Pardubice levelled in the opening minute of the third period. Adam Åhman stopped Patrik Poulíček’s shot, but Teodor Vápeník collected the rebound and fired past him. After neither side scored in regulation or the first three minutes of overtime, Miguël Tourigny carried the puck up ice and sent a backhand pass across to Kondelík, who waited out Åhman before scoring.
