Repík led Sparta’s great turnaround, he flashed a hat trick! The champion’s black streak is over
The black streak is over! The reigning champions from Třinec finally got a win after five defeats in a row. Martin Růžička and Andrej Nestrašil helped them with a goal and an assist.
The Ostrava club, which still has a fifteen-point deficit from second place to leader Pardubice, lost the fourth of its last five games at home. And on Friday, they will welcome their biggest rival in the fight for the second place in the table – the hot Sparta, which on Tuesday scored for the ninth time in a row and won for the eighth time.
At the same time, Karlovy Vary came to Prague in a relatively good mood – they won four of the last five games before the duel in the O2. And in the metropolis they also acted boldly for a long time, even after two thirds of the match they led 3:2 thanks to Martin Kohout’s two goals.
But in the final act, the home team unleashed a storm on the ice, the result of which were four goals in the team’s net from the spa town and six home wins for Sparta in a row. The audience was also introduced to a fresh reinforcement, the experienced Swedish defender Stefan Warg, who agreed with Sparta’s management on an engagement until the end of the season.
