IHM Discussion
Tomášek’s lead is narrow, but the shape of the scoring table is revealing. His seven goals and 16 assists give him a balanced 23-point start, while Červenka has reached 21 points in three fewer games. M. Růžička has the same five-goal, 16-assist return as Červenka, but across 17 outings.
Pardubice have three players inside the top nine scorers: Tomášek first, Smejkal sixth on 18 points and M. Stránský ninth on 17. Smejkal’s 11 goals are a clear standout in a league where Ojamäki is the only other player already into double figures.
The playmaking race is equally tight. Chlapík’s 17 assists put him one ahead of Tomášek, Červenka and M. Růžička, and his four goals leave him level on 21 points with the latter pair. Robertson’s production from the blue line also deserves notice, with his 10 assists accounting for much of his 14-point lead among defencemen.
Why It Matters
The league leaders illustrate how production is being distributed across the Extraliga. Pardubice have the points leader and the leading goalscorer, Sparta have the leading assist provider, Plzeň have the highest-scoring defenceman and Karlovy Vary have the leading goaltender by the two principal rate measures listed.
Frodl’s 95.44 save percentage and 1.30 goals-against average place him ahead of the listed field in both categories. His three shut-outs are matched by Mazanec and Kváča, showing that the shut-out table has no single leader even though Frodl tops the percentage and average columns.
Attendance remains below the averages cited for each of the previous two seasons and for 2019-20, but the current figure of 5,678 per game still represents substantial interest through 117 games.
