At the start of the match, the Yaroslavl team took over the initiative as hosts and immediately earned the power play. CSKA failed to fight back, a few seconds later Ivan Chekhov put Lokomotiv ahead — 1-0. The CSKA players turned on, created several chances and earned their power play. Here, the specialty team also worked exemplary. Maxim Mamin, after a pass to an empty goal from Vladislav Kamenev, equalized the numbers on the scoreboard — 1:1. Alas, but the hosts left for a break in the leaders. In one of the attacks, Ivan Chekhov scored a double — 2:1.
At the beginning of the third period, Rushan Rafikov changed the score — 3:1, but Konstantin Okulov almost immediately returned CSKA to the game — 3:2. Alas, only the hosts scored further in the second period. First Ivan Chekhov scored a hat-trick, and then Alexander Yelesin scored the fifth goal.
For the third period, Alexander Sharychenkov took the place in the goal of CSKA. Unfortunately, during the remaining time, the CSKA did not manage to turn the tide of the game. And in the end, Pavel Kraskovsky scored the sixth goal. We are preparing for the fourth match in Yaroslavl, which will take place on March 23.
