Robert Kalaber: Ukraine men's ice hockey team beat Poland 3-2 in a shootout in the Olympic pre-qualifying tournament in Sosnowiec on Friday evening.

The team coached by Robert Kalaber could have had a dream start, but Bogdan Dyachenko saved Pawel Dronia's effort. However, Poland didn't slow the pace and they scored an opener at 7:15 of the first period through Kamil Gorny's shot from the blue line.

Kalaber's players continued their attack while failing to double the lead before the break.
