Banská Bystrica - Žilina (Game 4)

Number of 2-minute penalties in the game: under 9.5.

Banská Bystrica - Žilina, fourth game of the series. The first game was won by Žilina 3:1. A total of 10 penalties, including 2 after the game ended and 4 penalties when the score was 3:0, when the game was practically decided. The second game was clearly 0:8 in favor of Banská Bystrica, and at that point, I expected many more penalties. There were some fights, but overall just 10 penalties. Yesterday, Žilina won 5:2. After two periods, there were only 3 penalties, and in the last period, 6 penalties. From the middle of the game, the score was 0:3, and it was practically decided, yet there were still relatively few penalties. Today, I think it will be a close game, and I don't expect a one-sided outcome, so we should see fewer penalties. Under 9.5 penalties.
