Statistics. 

The first period was spent in a relatively equal struggle. Both teams created danger moments at the opponent's goal, but the goalkeepers played flawlessly. For example, in the performance of CSKA there was a two-in-one exit, but after the combination of Mamin and Abramov, the puck got stuck in the leg pads of the Torpedo goalkeeper. CSKA had a power play, but it did not work out to use the numerical advantage. Entertaining 0-0 after twenty minutes of the game in Nizhny Novgorod. 

The second period was a continuation of the first for a long time. Everything changed in the middle of the game segment. The first goal of the CSKA team happened after a number of trips. Fredrik Claesson threw from the blue line, Vitaly Abramov changed the trajectory of the puck, and Maxim Sorkin did it again on the slot — Kulbakov had no chance to react. So CSKA opened the score — 1-0. Less than five minutes had passed when the second goal happened. Egor Bryutov got the puck on clear ice and put the force in the throw — 0:2. In the end, there were dismissals, but CSKA stood out short-handed.  

At the very beginning of the third period, Vladislav Provolnev was dismissed. The owners almost immediately took advantage of this gift. Bobby Lynch scored 1-2. The score has not changed for the rest of the time. We are taking away an important victory from Nizhny Novgorod!
