HC Rytíri Kladno – HC Sparta Prague 2:5
HC Rytíri Kladno – HC Sparta Prague 1:4
Positively is experiencing a very turbulent period, after taking a breather in the form of three consecutive victories, the Knights did not manage even one of the two New Year’s matches, when first they failed by the narrowest possible difference against Pilsen (3:4) and then also in the last game played against Olomouc (2:6) , where they averted shame when at one point they even lost 0:6. Defensiveness is probably the most pressing problem for Kladenský, one hundred and twenty conceded goals puts them in first place in the entire Extraliga.
Hand in hand with this is also the worst weakness in percentage terms (76.72%) and the most average shots allowed by opponents per match (33.26). Kladno continues to languish in last place in the league table, with thirty-eight points and the already mentioned unflattering score of 78:120. On the other hand, the Kladno captain is in great form Tomas Plekanecwho scored at least one point in each of the last seven games played, could remember the almost two-year-old victory over Sparta (8:4) Jaromir Jagrwho scored four points for two goals and two assists in this aforementioned match.
Sparta despite the initial lead of 2:0, it was not enough on home ice in Friday’s game against Liberec in the ratio of 2:5, and the winning streak in home games thus stopped at six games. This fact does not change the impressive extra league record since the arrival of the coaching duo of Miloslav Hořava and Hans Wallson, the Praguers have scored eleven victories in the last thirteen matches played in the highest competition and only two times they left as losers.
During the match, the team from the capital city can rely on a great weakening, with the fourth highest number of weakenings in the entire league (128), the Spartans with 83.59% of defensive weakenings hold the third rank compared to other units. The successful season was also reflected in the position in the table, the Praguers are in sixth place, with fifty-four points and a slightly positive score of 85:79. After making his debut in the red jersey on Friday, he will certainly want to make his mark in the points for the first time Pavel Kousalthe defender scored his first ever goal in Sparta in the aforementioned match Ondrej Mikliš.
As part of the thirty-sixth round of the Tipsport extra league, Prague’s Sparta will welcome the Kladno Knights to their home ice.
