After the crushing victory over Severstal, the CSKA hockey players went out with the same fighting spirit for the home game with Torpedo. From the very first period, it became clear that Nizhny Novgorod, usually focused on attacking, could create almost nothing ahead. CSKA team had a clear advantage and naturally opened the score. Prokhor Poltapov, who turned 22 today, came up trumps. He dragged the puck to the goal, despite the defender's resistance, got out onto the slot and outplayed goalkeeper Ivan Bocharov. The modest score held until the break, then CSKA secured a decisive advantage. The goals would suit any taste. Maxim Sorkin sent the puck under the crossbar, Vladislav Kamenev scored from Maxim Mamin's pass from behind the goal, and then gave him a gift in return when the two of them went out to one defender. Nikita Nesterov, the team's captain, made a powerful and accurate throw from the blue line in the power play. With the score 5-0, Torpedo was able to arrange a prestige goal, but it did not affect the course of the game. Ivan Drozdov, who did not look for an opportunity to pass when entering the goal, attacked himself and made the right choice, scored the sixth goal. The guests did not stop fighting and even started a small brawl in the end. Nevertheless, CSKA calmly brought the matter to a second victory in a row.
