    A double in the middle of the third period pathed the way for a CSKA win that afterwards was never in danger again. Instead Patrick Davis even added another one for a solid 4-1 home win of the favourites from Mocsow who earned their 5th consecutive win in KHL.

    46:46
    Goal for CSKA!

    CSKA Moscow is second in Tarasov Division with 59 points. The top team with stars like Alexander Radulov and Mikhail Grabovsky has won all the last four matches - the last three even on the road - and wants to continue this series today.

    On the other side Slovakian league newcomers Slovan Bratislava are third in Bobrov Division with 47 points just behind the Gagarin Cup favourites Dynamo Moscow and SKA St. Petersburg. Slovan has gained three wins in the last five matches and ends its road trip against CSKA.

    In the first game of both teams at the end of October it was CSKA Moscow that gained a 3-2 success in Bratislava. We can expect another close match in which the hosts might have a small advantage.
     
    Welcome. Game starts at 16:30 CET.
