ADDED: 22.2.2020

The preliminary round of the Slovak National League is now definitely a matter of history. After 48 played matches our boys ranked third in the Tipsport League and have 97 points on their account. The Steelers enjoyed twenty-five times after achieving full points, they won the match after the overtime nine times, they lost the match only ten times, and they managed to score at least one point four times, when they scored in overtime or after penalty shots. The players led by the coach Peter Draisaitl developed an identical ten-point advantage against the fourth Poprad and fifth Zvolen. On the contrary, they are three points behind the second Slovan Bratislava and five points behind Banská Bystrica, the leader of the preliminary round. Our players scored 146 goals and conceded 98 goals in total. We can be pleased that our forward Marcel Haščák became the best shooter and the third most productive player after the preliminary round, with thirty-three goals and twenty-two assistances. As regards productivity, our captain Dávid Skokan and forward Michal Chovan also ranked in the top ten. It also must not be forgotten that our best goalkeeper Andrej Košarišťan with 93.43% effectiveness of saves and an average of 1.78 goals per match is a leader in the statistics of goalkeepers.
Several novelties were announced even before beginning of this year's league season. One of them is also the extension part. After the preliminary round completion, the chart was divided into two parts. The scored points remain unchanged. First six teams will create A-Group within which they will compete against each other for most favorable positions before the play-off, first rank in the long-term part of the season, as well as the Dušan Pašek Cup. Other six teams will create B-Group. The teams ranked 7th - 12th will compete within this Group for the last two ranks in the elimination round. The season ended definitely for the thirteenth team. The teams in both Groups will play with each other 10 matches in total - 5 on the home ice, and other 5 on the opponent's ice. Our players will play the first match of the extension part against the fourth Poprad on the home ice in Steel aréna already this Sunday at 3:30 PM.
You can buy - no later than tomorrow - a combined ticket: four matches for the price of three (except for the match against Slovan).
