CSKA Moscow

Sunday 29.09.2013, 08:00 • Platinum Arena (capacity 7,100) • KHL

		Final word – Amur Khabarovsk won their previous game against Dinamo riga at Platinum Arena. It turned out that CSKA will play the game without leaders of their team Alexei Morozov and Alexander Radulov – that gave home team some extra confidence. Opening period was quite equal in terms of play with both teams scoring goals inside 33 seconds. Amur was slightly better in middle period, but guests scored deserved goal and took a start to final period with one goal lead. It seemed that Amur's power had run out in final period. Khabarovsak players sure tried hard, but CSKA team is experienced enough to stop such attempts. At the end – CSKA deserved win for taking what was offered to them. Eurolivescores player of the game – Nikolai Prokhorkin (CSKA) (10:24:43)

		Welcome to live coverage of Amur Khabarovsk vs CSKA Moscow KHL game. Khabarovsk reached only one straight win so far in KHL season and added single OT win to that. They were unlucky to lost 3 out of 3 shootouts and lost in three straight games. One can tell that this team has the potential, but something's always missing. They are currently on 13th place in Eastern Conference standings, that's 25th overall. They have beaten Dinamo Riga two days ago in Khabarovsk and are in the mood to make winning streak alive. Both of their goalies are in quite good form – Mika Jarvinen performs with Sv% 91.0 so far, Alexei Murygin is on Sv% 90.4. That's not bad for a team with so little success so far. Alexander Yunkov has 6 points (3 goals + 3 assists) next to his name in stats, Vladimir Loginov, the defenseman is next with 5 (1+4). CSKA Moscow was beaten in Vladivostok two days ago – Admiral did won the game 4:2. previous to that CSKA lost another road game against Vityaz (2:3) and home game against Torpedo (1:2). Moscow team sure wants to find back from from two weeks ago when they have ebaten SKA in great game. CSKA is currently on 8th place in Western Conference standings with only 3 straight wins in 10 games. Single OTW and single SOW are added to that. Rastislav Stana (Sv% 89.4) and Ilya Proskuryakov (Sv% 90.2) are not in best form possible, but they sure need strong support from guys in front of them. Alexander Radulov is team's point leader with 10 points next to his name (2 goals + 8 assists).
		Welcome. Game starts at 08:00.
