		Thanks for following with us, if you wish to check on our games coverage, take a look at our schedule. Bye for now, have a nice day! (14:06:25)
		That's it for today's game! In the last two minutes it was a great experience to watch this hockey, they finally woke up and played the game. This game was not the best the KHL offers but it was okay. Salavat was more concrete and lucky, but we can't really say who was the better team, as they were equal and not at their best.
