    Final word:
    Both teams were in hunt for victory. Amur prolonged their losing streak to 7 games and are in serious crisis. However, Torpedo's win wasn't an easy one. They benefitted on great goal by Krasnoslobodtsev in second period, but commited several unnecessary mistakes in third period and allowed home team to lewvel the score several minutes before buzzer. Torpedo also suffered during overtime – playing with one man less on ice – but managed to stay unbeaten. Vadim KRASNOSLOBODTSEV also was the only player in both teams to score at shootout and he is clearly eurolivescores player of the game. (11:42:51)

    Russian National Anthem is played
     
    Ten days have passed by and KHL continues. Todays game between Amur Khabarovsk and Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod is an Eastern Conference clash. Both teams are dissapointing so far; Amur being on 13th place on East out of fourteen teams and facing some financial difficulties is on a crucial point – they desperately need some points. Their crowd is great and supportive, but Russian far east is simply not interesting enough for big names to come and join the team. They have lost their last 6 games; their last win dates on October 19th.
    Torpedo is on 7th place on East and is just about on line between success and failure in season. Strong line of good results would be appreciated with devoted fans and would give nice position before final stages of regular KHL season. They will be playing their first November game today.
