Colby Williams scored the first goal for CSKA after Anton Slepyshev's pass — 1:3. The defender had a great shot right next to the bar.
In the third period, the Army failed to make a comeback. 52 seconds before the final siren, Anton Slepyshev reduced the gap to a minimum, but it was not enough. At the very end, the puck flew into the empty goal of CSKA. We are losing in the derby.
