Sparta Prague coach considers roster changes after loss to Pardubice

Following a 6:4 defeat against HC Dynamo Pardubice, Sparta Prague coach Patrik Augusta indicated that roster changes may be necessary. Augusta noted that while the team shows flashes of excellence, they struggle with individual errors, a lack of aggression in physical battles, and deviations from the required system.

The club is reportedly exploring various options, including the potential acquisition of defenseman Jakub Sirota. Other names mentioned in trade discussions include forward Tomáš Hyka, though his salary may pose a challenge for interested clubs. Players such as Ondřej Najman, Kryštof Hrabík, and Pavel Kousal could also become trade assets.

In the match itself, Dynamo Pardubice's David Tomášek delivered a standout performance with two goals and an assist. Tomášek noted that his motivation was partially fueled by previous comments from Sparta regarding his rejected return to the club earlier this year. Despite the personal connection, Tomášek maintained a respectful stance toward his former team.
