From the first minutes, both teams began to act in a bald style. Lokomotiv immediately went ahead and created some good chances. In one of them, the forward Yaroslavtsev went on a rendezvous with Fedotov, but could not score. And in the counter attack, in the sixth minute, Mikhail Grigorenko made a great shot. The striker received a pass from Maxim Sorkin and shot powerfully from the face—off circle - 0:1. After the CSKA goal, the hosts shook up and put pressure on the CSKA defense. The onslaught was contained, and the CSKA got their new chance in the power play. Andrey Svetlakov was pushed into the side against the rules. Mikhail Grigorenko shot for a slot, and Anton Slepyshev finished the pass — 0:2. 

In the opening ten minutes of the second period, Lokomotiv operated with a clear advantage. CSKA even had to play short-handed twice. We managed to play well in defense, and after that we had our chances. In one of the attacks, Nikita Nesterov managed a cannon throw from the blue line. The CSKA captain made the score 3-0. And a few minutes later, Vitaly Abramov scored the fourth goal. The second period ended with a score of 4-0. 

In the third period, the CSKA team maintained their concentration and were able to bring the match to a confident victory. Ivan Fedotov blocked all 38 shots on his goal!
