Sparta made a fast start after Filip Chlapík won the puck following a mistake by Wesley and set up Špaček to score in the sixth minute. Pavel Kousal doubled the lead five minutes later, finishing after Pysyk’s shot rebounded off the end boards.
The teams hit the posts twice behind Kořenář and once behind Hrachovina. Vítkovice could not convert any of their five power plays, while Vojtěch Hradec sealed the win in the 55th minute with his first goal since joining Sparta.
