    The third period belonged to the home team, which scored three times. Milan Gulas scored twice, one goal was then added by a Plzen captain, Martin Straka. The visitors only managed to pull one down, thanks to Zdenek Okal, who found a puck under Mazanec and sent it into the net with a rebound. However, that was the last goal of the match, so the home team took all three points. (16:26:42)
