Salavat Yulaev made it three wins on the spin with a shoot-out success at home to Barys. The Ufa team is improving after a slow start to the season and continued that progress here. The first two periods were scoreless but Nikolai Prokhorkin finally put Salavat Yulaev ahead in the 48th minute. Mike Landin tied it up four minutes later, taking the game into overtime. There was no further score until the shoot-out, but then fans were treated to a fine display of finishing. Only one attempt from six failed, with Niklas Svedberg saving from Nigel Dawes before Dmitry Makarov got the winner.
