    Donbass Donetsk had several big scoring opportunities in the last period and a clear plus in chanes but they weren't able to cut their deficit by more than one goal and in the end lost 2-4 at home against a clever defending Barys Astana.

    For Donbass it was their first loss after two consecutive wins on the road and they remain at 13 points while Barys now have won 7 out of 8 games and stay leaders of Eastern Conference with now 21 points! They have the best points per game average (2.63) and the most goals scored (44 / 5.5 per game) of all teams.

    Shots on goal: Donbass 18 (46) – Barys 4 (20)
