    Final word: Barys Astana players were not as convincing as against Severstal. In fact, they've only managed to level the score 03:44 before final buzzer and then added another goal 38 seconds later. Final empty-net goal 6 seconds before end by Spiridonov of course caused huge cheers from home crowd. Two games – two straight wins for Barys.
    Lokomotiv looked good for most of the game, but lack of concentration towards end of the game costed them points. Third consecutive loss is of course not a good season start for Yaroslavl.
    Next games: Barys plays SKA on Thursday in Astana, Lokomotiv travels to visit Avtomobilist. (17:32:15)
