    Final word – Torpedo simply blew away Lokomotiv. It was not the nicest of games, but it presented everything this game offers – goals, unnecessary penalties, powerplay goals, fights and more. Team from Nizhny Novgorod was seriously better in faceoffs (73,5%) and had therefore more puck in their possesion.
    Mikhail Grigoryev spent the most time on ice for Torpedo (25:20 on ice, 29 shifts) and Ilya Gorokhov was ice-leader for Lokomotiv (21:24, 26 shifts).
