Series stand
CSKA is leading the series 2-1 (3:2 3ОТ, 1:2, 4:0).
About the game
Adam Reideborn collected his third shutout of this year’s playoffs as CSKA marches on taking the lead in the Western Conference finals. However, they shouldn’t think they have won already, as SKA is not an easy opponent, and its leaders will be most likely able to forget the defeat and start game four from scratch. As Fredrik Claesson netted his first post-season goals, only Artyom Sergeyev, Nikolai Makarov, and Vladimir Bryukvin haven’t scored so far for CSKA.
CSKA’s goalie Adam Reideborn is on a 70:33 shutout streak.
CSKA’s defenseman Darren Dietz had at least an assist in each of his previous three games, totaling four helpers.
