The difference in the game was the first period powerplay goal by Kalinin that found its way through traffic and snuck in short side on Koval.
Both goaltenders were exceptional tonight with Bobrovsky winning the battle. Bobrovsky made some crucial saves in the third period on the penalty kill to preserve SKA's lead and eventual win tonight.
When the teams were not in the penalty box, they each evenly shared possession of the puck and gave the fans an entertaining fast paced game.
Next for SKA is a trip to Metallurg on Dec.19. Torpedo continues their search for a win in December as they host Avtomobilist on the 19th.
