HC Dynamo Pardubice came from two goals behind to beat Bordeaux Boxers 5-2 and secure a place in the Champions Hockey League Playoffs. Bordeaux, needing a win in its own bid to reach the Playoffs, took a 2-0 lead late in the first period. Loïc Farnier opened the scoring before setting up Pierre-Olivier Morin on a two-on-one rush.
Pardubice pressed in the second period but did not score until David Tomášek redirected Miloš Kelemen’s pass with less than three minutes remaining. Video review confirmed the puck had crossed the line. Jáchym Kondelík then levelled at 12:28 of the third, banking the puck in off goaltender Gaëtan Richard. Bordeaux challenged for goaltender interference, but the goal stood.
Just 40 seconds later, Lukáš Sedlák set up Jan Mandát for the go-ahead goal. Vladimír Sobotka scored on a powerplay with 6:30 left, and Kelemen added an empty-net goal to complete the comeback.
