HK Poprad ice hockey players took the lead in the semifinal of the Tipsport League play-offs by winning the opening game on HK Nitra's ice 4:3 after overtime. Adam Cracknell scored the decisive goal with a skillful deflection after 42 seconds of extra time beyond regulation. SITA ↗
The match offered spectators dynamic hockey with numerous goal changes. Nitra, which won the league in the regular season with 112 points and advanced to the semifinal after a dramatic seven-game qualification series with Michalovce, fell behind. However, the home side's role as favorites did not show, as they managed to fight their way back into the game and equalize the score. sme.sk ↗
However, the disciplinary committee penalized Nitra after the first match. The Professional Hockey Senate (SPH DK SZĽH) punished forward Tomáš Hrnka with a suspension from sporting activity for one match. The thirty-four-year-old center received the punishment for a cross-check in Friday's game. As a result, Nitra took to the ice for the second semifinal duel without their leader. sme.sk ↗
In the second game of the series, Nitra successfully atoned for their initial stumble and defeated Poprad 3:2 despite severe weakened lineup in the team. The home side's victory was decided by an empty-net goal in the final phase of the match. The result meant the series was leveled at 1:1 in the best-of-seven series. The final ten minutes of the second semifinal clash delivered thrilling hockey drama, with several unnecessary fouls by both teams and defensive errors, particularly on Poprad's part. sport.sk ↗
HK Nitra would love to celebrate a significant milestone in its history by advancing to the final. The club is marking one hundred years since its founding this year. The play-off semifinal continues with a return to Poprad, where both teams will try to gain a decisive advantage before continuing the series leading to the Tipsport League final. Denník N Blogy ↗
