Avangard v Dynamo Moscow 3-2 SO
It’s been a long time coming, three and a half years, to be precise, but Avangard finally got a win over Dynamo. It wasn’t easy, though. Despite leading twice, it needed a shoot-out to see off a resilient Blue-and-White challenge. Ilya Zubov got the game-winner following a 2-2 tie. The first period was scoreless, but Denis Parshin put Avangard ahead right at the start of the second. Alexander Osipov tied it up, but parity lasted barely 90 seconds before Alexander Perezhogin reinstated the home lead. Dynamo got back on terms again the third thanks to young Artyom Fyodorov’s first of his KHL career, but could not take maximum advantage.

Traktor v Salavat Yulaev 1-3
Salavat Yulaev left it late before getting on top of Traktor.

Salavat created chances throughout, finishing with 41 shots on goal, but had to wait until the 30th minute before Andreas Engqvist opened the scoring. That lead was quickly cancelled out by Alexei Kruchinin, but the away team’s pressure paid off in the end.

Peter Regin made it 2-0 in the 57th minute and Justin Azevedo’s late reply for Ak Bars could not quite close the gap.
