Quarter Finals, serie is tied 2:2 (7:1, 7:4, 1:4, 3:4)

Although serie is tied i can't see Skalica not advancing to the Semis. Before Play-off they were "hot" team, with 11 wins in last 12 rounds of regular season, all in 60 mins and exceptional home record, including Play-off: W23-D1-L5 115:50. Very impressive result. They continued with such form in Play-offs as well, demolishing Zvolen in both games. In third match, first away, they lost but match was more tight then result suggest, while in last match they deserved to win. From the beginning to the end they were better team, controlling the match and making opportunities. In first period they outshooted Zvolen 15:3!! At the end 45:27, but lost due to great PP efficiency of Zvolen, and off course great Hudacek between the bars. I can't see Hudacek repeating that performance, and also Skalica missing big number of opportunities. Zvolen isn't anything special away, in fact, they've lost four of last five away games and Skalica should be too much for them. Mutual meetings this season:
