    In a very even game with many good scoring opportunities on both sides, Traktor had the luck on their side and won their 5th game in the last 6 matches. For Yugra the negative streak continues with their 7th loss in a row – but at least they won 1 point this time.

    Shots on goal: Yugra 0 (29) – Traktor 1 (32) (16:19:26)
     
    Game over.
     
    60:38
    Goal for Traktor!


    A brilliant individual effort by Evgeny Kuznetsov gives Traktor the 4-3 and thus the extra point in this match! He forced his way through the home defense before giving a brilliant back hand cross pass to the left where JAN BULIS waited and finished the job from short distance!

    Assisted by Evgeny Kuznetsov.
     
    60:01
    Overtime began.
     
    Traktor controlled most parts of the third period but Yugra showed all their efficiency and turned the result into their favour with two goals within five minutes before a late goal by Kuznetsov for Traktor sent the game to overtime. Both teams have secured 1 point each. Which team gets the extra point, we'll see either in overtime or if necessary in a shootout.

    Shots on goal: Yugra 4 (29) – Traktor 13 (31)

    EVGENY KUZNETSOV was left completely alone at the right circle and had all time in the world to fire the puck into the left top corner to score the equalizer for Traktor with his second goal of the day!

    Assisted by Konstantin Klimontov.
