Juuso Könönen put the hosts back in front in the 26th minute, and Trenik responded with an overtaking arrow in just over 4 minutes, courtesy of Marco Dano and Panik.

Monaco stay one step ahead in the standings by beating Kosice 5-2: A very one-sided game: After going 2-0 in the first half (Austin Ortega in Powerplay and Filip Varejka the scorers), the Germans gathered at the start and the Slovaks edged out, on goal. The first through Jens Olsson, in the second half the central break proved the three points with Patrick Hager and Nicholas Kremer.
