    In the third period SKA prevailed as well, but they could not put Ufa under pressure. In the end of the game home team had still one goal advantage then they could increase the lead due to the SKA net was left empty. Reviewing the whole match the early Salavat Yulayev goal was the most important part of the match, beacuse then they could keep it thanks to their tight defense and dangerous counterattacks. In spite of this defeat SKA Saint Petersburg is still the first on Western Conference (Dynamo Moscow is playing tomorrow), while Ufa strengthened their third standing.
