CSKA started the fourth match of the series much more concentrated. The CSKA team allowed fewer chances at their own goal at the start, and they converted their own. Maxim Mamin scored in the third game in a row — 0:1. Then the hosts woke up and began to act better, straining Adam Reideborn. In the end, it turned out to be a real fight, but the defense of CSKA withstood. As a result — the minimum advantage of the CSKA team after 20 minutes of the game.
In the second period, the hosts continued their pressure. For a long time, the CSKA managed to maintain a minimal advantage, and there were even chances of repeated success in counterattacks. Alas, the chances remained unrealized, and the Yaroslavl residents found their happiness at the Reideborn goal. Alexander Yelesin powerfully hit from the blue line — 1:1. With this score, the teams left for the second break.
The third period started perfectly for CSKA. Less than two minutes later, Pavel Karnaukhov led the CSKA team ahead — 1:2. The hosts tried to return back to the game, but a puck into an empty net from Vladislav Kamenev closed the questions about the winner — 1:3. We are taking the victory away from Yaroslavl!
