Kundrátek se stal obětí zákroku Jespera Frödéna ve 36. minutě, švédský útočník trefil třineckého beka u mantinelu přímo do hlavy, za což vyfasoval vyšší trest. Otřesený český zadák už do utkání nezasáhl.
V závěru museli reprezentanti dohrávat jen na šest obránců. Ještě hůře totiž vypadal zdravotní stav Kempného, jenž se poroučel na led ve 47. minutě po čistém souboji se švédským soupeřem.
Domácí se rozčilovali, že sudí téměř 25 sekund nepřerušili hru, ačkoliv bek Sparty zůstával nehybně ležet. Až poté se mu dostalo potřebného ošetření. Na první pohled to vypadalo na problém s kolenem, Kempný sice odjel po svých, ale držel se zřejmě za břicho a zamířil rovnou do kabin.

Jak na tom oba hráči jsou, kouč Radim Rulík po utkání nevěděl. „Ještě úplně nevím. Dozvíme se to asi do hodiny po zápase,“ poznamenal. „Ale samozřejmě mi zatrnulo. Holt jen musíme čekat, co bude,“ říkal se zkroušeným výrazem.
Nepříjemný moment jen několik minut po zranění Kempného prožíval také švédský forvard William Eklund. V souboji u mantinelu ho totiž do ruky nebezpečně říznula brusle Filipa Hronka. Hvězdný útočník San Jose v panice odjel na střídačku, kde se mu kustod s lékařem museli okamžitě zastavit silné krvácení.
Zpátky ale k českému týmu, který bude muset řešit vynucené změny v sestavě už pro nedělní duel se Švýcarskem. Kempný by sice zůstal jen na tribuně, jelikož odehrál oba dosavadní duely, otazník však visí nad Kundrátkem, jenž odpočíval už ve čtvrtek.
A plány musí Rulík měnit také v útoku. Původně totiž chtěl, aby všichni z finalistů extraligy odehráli v Brně jeden zápas. „Ale Roman Červenka s Lukášem Sedlákem se necítí připravení, a tak nenaskočí. Dva z hráčů tak nastoupí i do třetího zápasu na turnaji. Ještě se musíme poradit, kdo to bude, a finalizujeme sestavu,“ vysvětloval zkušený trenér.

Hyeseong Kim, Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers rookie’s moment in Miami: ‘A great honor’
MIAMI — Hyeseong Kim has a way of making everyone around him smile. That much the Los Angeles Dodgers have learned quickly, and the second baseman’s aura has been sensed even by the biggest of stars he now calls teammates. That smile spread as wide as Kim’s face could handle Monday as a bouncing Shohei Ohtani greeted him in the dugout. Seconds earlier, he’d pummeled a baseball that challenged the sound barrier, screaming into the visiting bullpen at loanDepot Park.AdvertisementAll Ohtani wanted to do was celebrate Kim, the Korean rookie who has found a way to excite in his first taste of the major leagues. Ohtani jumped up and down, smacking fives with Kim before placing both hands squarely and playfully around Kim’s head.Kim, making his first start in Major League Baseball after signing a three-year, $12.5 million contract with […]
Finally back on the mound, Lucas Giolito is making his mark on the Red Sox’s rotation: ‘I can be myself again. I can be a true, real teammate’
BOSTON — It has become an all-too-common narrative arc, though it remains an uplifting and exciting scene: a talented and accomplished pitcher making his first appearance in the big leagues after a year-plus away while rehabbing from elbow surgery.On Wednesday in Toronto, the latest such instance was Red Sox right-hander Lucas Giolito’s return to the mound, accompanied by the usual remarks from the broadcast about how many days it had been since he pitched in the major leagues.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementFor Giolito, that number was 577.Any pitcher who makes it back after such a lengthy layoff is worthy of thorough commendation. But for Giolito, the ill-fated timing of his surgery and the unusual circumstances under which he completed his rehab — in the background of a big-market team for which he had yet to throw a pitch — made his return all the […]
Leafs hang on to win Game 1, but lose Anthony Stolarz: Takeaways
TORONTO — With one of their better games of the playoffs, the Maple Leafs stormed to an early lead in Game 1 and held on late, beating the reigning Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers 5-4.The last time the Leafs won the opening games in two rounds of the playoffs was 2001.Through the first two periods, the Leafs looked and acted like the aggressors against an opponent that was thought to be the nastier and physical team coming into Game 1. Two goals from William Nylander and goals from Morgan Rielly, Chris Tanev and an electric breakaway goal from Matthew Knies were the difference against a Panthers team that waited until the third period to turn it on.AdvertisementYet for all the firepower and physicality the Leafs showed, the series took a sharp turn midway through the second period when Panthers forward […]
