Statistics
The beginning of the first period passed with the advantage of Avtomobilist. The hosts, who have already lost nine matches in a row, were full of desire to break this series. The start turned out to be successful — early in the fourth minute of the match Brooks Macek brought Avtomobilist forward. Shortly after that, Yaroslav Dyblenko was sent off for blocking. The CSKA team stood up and gradually began to level the game, and at the thirteenth minute the score became equal. Nikita Nesterov successfully joined the attack, having received a pass from Sergei Plotnikov, and hit the goal of the hosts. The first period of the match ended with a score of 1:1.
CSKA started the second period much more actively, but lacked accuracy in the end. Vladislav Kamenev's sending-off turned the tables. The hosts moved the puck well and completed the draw with a goal scored by Dmitry Zhukenov. The second game segment ended with a score of 2:1.
In the third period, the CSKA rushed to recoup. Anton Slepyshev had one of the best chances in the match, but did not convert a 1-on-1 breakaway to Bobkov's goal. The hosts were able to distinguish themselves again in the powerplay — Sergei Shirokov struck the Reideborn's goal. The intrigue was brought back into the game by the same Anton Slepyshev, who capitalized on man-advantage. Alas, but this evening it was not possible to return to the game until the end. Vladimir Kuznetsov shot the puck into the empty goal — 4:2.
