1:2 (1:1, 0:0, 0:0)
Lokomotiv Yaroslavl
Tuesday 22.10.2013, 15:00 • Arena Metallurg (capacity: 7,500) • KHL
     
    Final word – lokomotiv sure surprised in Magnitogorsk. However their SO win is well deserved. They were slightly in subordinate position in opening period and were under serious pressure for most of the second. Thired period pressure by home team was neutralyzed well and they finally took play on their sticks during overtime. SO win is therefore just a cherry on today's cake for Lokomotiv.
