Nitra defeated Michalovce 5-1 in the decisive seventh game of their playoff series to advance to the semifinals of Slovakia's top hockey league. Michalovce, who finished 10th in the regular season standings, had been attempting to eliminate the regular season champions in a major upset. Last year, a similar underdog story unfolded when Zvolen knocked out Spišská Nová Ves despite finishing lower in the standings.
