2:5 (1:2, 0:3, 1:0)
SKA St. Petersburg
Thursday 12.09.2013, 15:00 • Kazakhstan Sport Palace (capacity: 5,532) • KHL
     
    Final word – SKA proved too strong for this Barys team at the moment. They were better in crucial moments and they had two players in extreme mood for spectacular hockey – Roman Cervenka and Ilya Kovalchuk. Nothing tragical for Barys, although this was their first defeat of current KHL season. On the other hand – SKA stays on 100% and their form frightens the opposition.
    Following games for both teams: Barys plays another home game on Saturday against Atlant. SKA plays home game against Medvescak on Monday. (17:38:41)
     
    Mike Lundin spent 27:50 on ice in 28 shifts for Barys. Evgeny Blokhin is also close with 29 shifts (26:49 on ice).
    Dmitry Kalinin was SKA player who spent the most time on ice – 25 shifts, 25:59 on ice. He is followed by Evgeny Ryasensky ( 26 shifts, 23:41) and Ilya Kovalchuk (23 shifts, 23:26 on ice).
