There were no surprises in the starting line-up of CSKA for the match with Admiral, the same hockey players who defeated Vityaz at home took to the ice. As expected, the team from Vladivostok actively went forward with their home stands. Already in the first minute, Ivan Prosvetov saved the team after the Admiral forward went one-on-one with our goalkeeper. Throughout the first period, Ivan acted very reliably, neutralizing all the dangerous moments from the opponent, and there were many of them. Having withstood the initial onslaught, CSKA began to test the opponent's defense with counterattacks, and then found their chance when playing the poweplay. Denis Guryanov unexpectedly threw into the near corner for the Admiral goalkeeper, and the puck hit the target. In the second period, both teams had enough chances, the game opened up at times, and the attackers got space to attack. CSKA did not pocket their chances, but the hosts were able to score once, and the score was even. At the beginning of the third period, there was another one-on-one match, which this time ended with a score in our goal. However, CSKA did not prepare a response for long. Prokhor Poltapov quickly equalized the score. His first shot was blocked by a defender, but soon the puck came to the attacker again, and he stumped the Admiral goalkeeper with an attack from an acute angle. Until the end of regular time, no more pucks were thrown, although the teams did not sit out defensively, they did not change the score of the elimination.
In overtime, CSKA started playing more actively, the game was mostly played in opponent's zone. But the only accurate throw was still made by the Admiral. We record one point in the table, then the team will play in Khabarovsk.
