In the east of the country, Michalovce is on a roll winning its fifth straight game.
With four consecutive goals (two by Matej Gilak), the home team thought it had the match in the bag.
However, Nitra showed courage in the final act, capitalized on two powerplays and after two more goals by Samuel Bucek who tied the game in the last second, forced overtime.
Nitra's perfect turnover got thwarted in OT by Michalovce's Mikko Pukka who set the final score of a thrilling match to 5-4.
Nitra's overtime defeat opened the door of opportunity for Miskolc, one of the two Hungarian teams playing in the Slovak league, and it jumped at it, edging out Nove Zamky by a single goal 4-3. Bence Sziranyi became the hero of the match, scoring the game-winner in the penultimate minute, enabling Miskolc to move up to the eighth place in the standings that guarantees the final playoff spot at the end of the second stage of the regular season.
Budapest, the other Hungarian team, is not doing as good as its country rival, sitting in tenth place and trailing Miskolc by 16 points despite defeating the last-ranked Detva 5-2 on Tuesday.
The home team's discipline turned out to be the key factor as Budapest capitalized on three powerplays, serving Detva its fourth consecutive defeat.
The following are the results of the Tipsport Liga on Tuesday:
Group A (1-6)
